     Of all the fighter planes that flew during WWII, the P-39 Airacobra was
unique in having its engine placed behind the pilot. This design allowed for
greater maneuverability. The P-39 was the first single-engine fighter plane to
have a tricycle undercarriage and to have a more powerful armament than any
other single-engine fighter of the time. More than 5,000 P-39s were shipped to
the Soviets, who used the aircraft to attack German units on the eastern front
throughout the war.
