One of my favorite aircraft. It was a tad underpowered. Could not fly high altitude. They were mostly sent to the Russians. They loved them they flew them low altitude using the cannon firing through the center of the prop hub. Knocking out German tanks. And shooting up ground troops.
It reminds me of a Piper Tomahawk with a gun. ...and that's got to be the longest, weakest forward landing strut in existence! I guess it's there to balance this little plane while it was parked. I enjoyed the video and thanks for uploading. I love these air training vids.
Wait, did they litteraly crashland a P-39 just for this traininfilm?
That is amazing. What a time.
Probably not. My guess would be that the landing gear failed to deploy for landing and a camera just happened to be nearby.
Great video! Thanks..
My favorite WWII fighter.
Love the P-39 with it´s car doors.
Nostalgic era of Aviation ...
I thoroughly enjoy these uploads. Thank you.
Looks like a decent fighter plane.
Thanks for the upload! Amazing

Is that Chester Morris voicing as the young pilot?
Now, where can I buy one?
