An interesting cross-over coming up 🙂

[@BuffaloNavalPark]

Thanks 18robsmith! I always say Buffalo had to produce the most WWII aircraft of any city in America - 10% of all aircraft built. 13,000 P-39\P-63's. 14,000 P-40 Warhawks (At Curtiss-Wright), 3,000 C-46 Commando's, and 700 SC1 Seahawk reconnaissance planes. Hope you enjoy!

Looking forward to it. Given the name, was the plane sent out as lend-lease to the USSR or someone else?

[@BuffaloNavalPark]

Thanks, it should be an enjoyable series. They have a lot of info on the plane. David will explain it all in the first episode!

It was a great plane. The only problem was the single stage supercharger, limiting high altitude performance

[@BuffaloNavalPark]

Thanks Kirk. That is correct. I believe they tried to correct that with the 3,500 P-63 Kingcobra's they built too! You'll find out a ton during this series. Hope you enjoy!
