The experimental model XP</ins>-<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">39 took its maiden flight on 6 April 1938</ins>. <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">An order </ins>was <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">placed by France but it could not be fulfilled before the capitulation of France in summer 1940. The high flight characteristics of the experimental XP-39 also drew attention from the British buying committee </ins>in <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the USA. Seduced by its tricycle undercarriage, powerful armament, high climbing rate and promises of high speeds of up to 640 km/h, the British ordered 675 airplanes, including the 200 from the French order</ins>. <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">The P-400 Aircobra was produced in Britain as the Aircobra Mk.I. In December 1941, the British Air Ministry decided to remove the Airacobra Mk.I from service. By this time, 164 of the fighters had been sent to Britain. Their designation P-400 was given after they were sent to the United States, a number of P-400s took part in combat operations in New Guinea and North Africa</ins>.</div></td></tr>

While attacking ground targets it is better to use "boom and zoom" tactics that would allow high energy retention. While giving air support fly low at high speed once found an opponent get some shots on it and/or drop your ordinance. Once the engagement is over maintain some speed while continuing with a slight climb to position for another attack run on an opponent. </ins></div></td></tr>
