Re: Russian P-40 modifications

Some sources indicate that the Russians obtained increased perfromance on the P-39 and P-40 by ignoring the rated limitations on the engine and operating them at excess pressure. The performance increase was off-set by decreased engine life requiring frequent replacement or overhaul.
