"We were flying the Bell P-400 Airacobra, the export model of the P-39 fighter-bomber. We’d offered them to the Australians, who rejected them as unacceptable."
"It was a trusty airplane with good firepower," Thompson continues. "But it had no supercharger and we had no high-pressure oxygen, so we couldn’t get high enough to compete with the Zeros at all. The Marines had the engines to get up there and did a good job. But we were used mostly to attack targets on the ground."
