On March 6th 1913, Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin was born. He was one of the most successful aces of the Second World war. His “thunderstorm formula” became a classic of aerial combat: “Altitude, speed, maneuver, fire!” Pokryshkin participated in 150 air battles and shot down approximately 50-60 enemy aircraft, for which he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union three times.

About this aircraft
Pokryshkin in his P-39N-0 (rank III) achieved a significant portion of his aerial victories in 1943 in the P-39N-0 Airacobra. The aircraft’s dive speed, climb rate, and maneuverability, as well as its powerful 37 mm cannon perfectly matched the ace’s winning formula. Try to replicate it!
