The Ruskies loved the Air Cobra and its nose cannon.
The cannon worked as a can opener on nazi tanks.


Also seem to remember Finland flew Buffalos and gave the Russians a
decent shellacking. Not sure if the Buffalos played any part in that,
however...


They did, but their victories owed much to poor training, equipment
and tacitcs of the sov air force...
