It would have been better if they'd never gone out the door In hindsight. Ditto for the Whitley and the Defiant. And on the American side, the Vindicator, the Aircobra, the Devestator, the Buffalo........

Its an observation of their woeful performance and cost in aircrew, both of which were recognized at the time and often since. Regards Paul

Dave: Old age comes at an inconventient time My father who flew P-47D's & P-38 J&L's in the SW Pacific swears that the P-39 was an AAF plot to kill as many Russians as they could. While they did some good service for the Russians, and in 1942 in Guadalcanal he thought they were best used as flying pinball machines and target tugs. -- Regards, Savageduck

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...
