However, early versions of the fighter did not meet the requirements of the battlefield at the time. After numerous modifications and reconstructions, the D version was produced, which was supplied to five countries of the anti-Hitler coalition. Most of the P-39s produced were sold to US and Soviet aviation. According to the pilots, the plane was difficult to control, not very popular, but they won many victories, especially on the Eastern Front.
