Bandai
Originally ordered by Great Britain and France before the US entry into the war, the aircraft proved too underpowered for European air combat and was quickly withdrawn from RAF service.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, many of these fighter aircraft were requisitioned by the US Army Air Force and sent to the South Pacific, often still bearing British camouflage and serial numbers.
Others served in North Africa or were later transferred to the USSR under Lend-Lease, where the Airacobra achieved exceptional low-altitude combat success.
The P-400 played a key role in early Pacific operations, particularly during the New Guinea and Guadalcanal campaigns.
