Title: TP-39 or P-39UTI Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 09, 2008, 11:24:28 PM Hi, :)
I am looking for all informations on two-seater P-39, both illustrations and historical data. It would be interesting to know how many planes were converted in Soviet Union from single-seater to trainer. I have already the images of the books of Geust. Could anyone help me, please?

Thank you. Those drawings are good and distinguish well the 3 known variants. Do you know if the same photos of Red Stars are on other books too?

Typi Broni i Uzbrojenia #85 has a chart of technical data that has TP-39F and TP-39Q included. Title: Re: TP-39 or P-39UTI Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 12, 2008, 06:38:30 AM Thank you
