That's pretty cool. They are still finding these old WWII planes all over the globe.

That's the one with the nose gun, P-39 was it? Right before the Mustang I think... WWII fighters were all beautiful...

Mid-engined, 3 guns in the nose--2 .30 cal + 37mm cannon in the nose, plus .50 cals in the wing.

We made it primarily as an export fighter for Russia and a few to Britain and other allies

Dang... I didn't know there were 3 guns in the nose... Would love to be able to see these guys in the air just once...
