Eagle and MASK No. 358, dated 28 January 1989. Johnny Red cover by Sandy James. The plane shown is the Bell P-39 Airacobra which had its engine situated behind the pilot leaving room for a high-powered cannon in the nose section. A 10 foot long shaft had to run through the cockpit between the pilots legs to drive the propeller which the pilots and mechanics weren't keen on. It had been the first US built fighter to enter service with the RAF and arrived with 601 Squadron around July 1941. By early 1942 the RAF had stopped using them and the bulk of the aircraft were transferred to the Soviets. One problem identified was that it didn't perform well at height (over 15,000 feet) and this wasn't as important on the Russian Front.
