About the P-39 Airacobra Reconnaissance Variant

The P-39 Airacobra reconnaissance variants were specially modified fighters equipped with cameras for photographic intelligence missions. These unarmed aircraft retained the Airacobra's distinctive mid-engine layout and tricycle landing gear while adding camera equipment in the fuselage. Operating in both the Pacific and European theaters, these reconnaissance Airacobras provided crucial photographic intelligence for Allied operations, flying low-level and tactical reconnaissance missions that complemented higher-altitude photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

Perfect for: Intermediate modelers interested in WWII reconnaissance aircraft and unique P-39 variants
