P-39 wasn't used for ground attack by the Soviets.

Thanks. I always thought that was one of its main roles but did a little research and you are correct. Thanks again!

Compared to Soviet aircraft, the P-39 was entirely made of metal so it was more rugged and had an excellent American made radio for communication.

Soviet fighters had an endurance typically under 40 minutes so its short range wasn’t a problem either.
