Caption Card / Photograph Verso for Bell P-39Q-20 Airacobra (Image Content Not Present)
This archival item preserves only the handwritten identification 'Bell P-39 Q-20' — the accompanying photograph of the aircraft itself is not present in this scan. The Bell P-39 Airacobra was a distinctive U.S. Army Air Forces fighter of World War II, recognizable by its tricycle landing gear, mid-mounted engine, and nose cannon firing through the propeller spinner. The Q model was the most heavily produced Airacobra variant, with many examples supplied to Soviet forces under Lend-Lease, where the type saw extensive and effective use in the low-altitude ground-attack role on the Eastern Front.
