My article about the P-39 Airacobra in Soviet service in Issue 30 of The Aviation Historian
I am pleased to announce that my article reviewing the importance of the American P-39 Airacobra fighter to the Soviet air force during the Second World War has been published in The Aviation Historian. I have been able to use information from a variety of archival documents and secondary sources to demonstrate that the Airacobra was a vital ingredient in the rebirth of Soviet air power in the later years of the war. Issue 30 is out now, see theaviationhistorian.com
My article benefited from the able assistance of Dr. Valeriy Romanenko, who is the head of research at the Ukraine State Aviation Museum in Kyiv. The text is illustrated with images from Valeriy's extensive collection. I am also grateful to the editor, Nick Stroud, for publishing my piece and appending additional illustrations, including one provided by Philip Jarrett. The kindness of several fellow researchers who kindly shared the fruit of their own labours has considerably enhanced my text. I thank forum members Andrew Arthy, Brian J. Bines, Johannes Matthews and Matti Salonen, as well as Gordon R. Birkett, Michael J. Claringbould, John B. Lundstrom and Steven J. Zaloga. An image of an RAF Airacobra Mk. I appears on the magazine cover, together with a reference to my article in the header: theaviationhistorian.com/images/shared/issue30-cover.jpg To purchase the issue, go to theaviationhistorian.com/shop-europe.htm The contents page for Issue 30 is available at theaviationhistorian.com/public-downloads/content-PDFs/tah30_contentspage.pdf
