Kingcobra 2014/01
Bell Aircraft Corporation’s unique mid-engine P-63 Kingcobra was a descendant of the Bell P-39 Airacobra. The Airacobra lacked a supercharger, limiting it to low-altitude work. Although effective for strafing and ground targets, the P-39 suffered in engaging a flying enemy. Bell went back to the drawing board and modified two P-39Es into P-63s.

all-balsa construction, it was an instant hit.
