The Bell P-39 Airacobra was one of the principal fighters in service with US Army Air Forces upon the nation's entry into World War Two. It was also used throughout the war by (most prominently) the Soviet Air Force, the Free French, the RAF and the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force, and thus service in most theaters, but particularly in the Southwest Pacific, Mediterranean and USSR.

Under Soviet pilots, the P-39 collected the highest number of kills attributed to any US fighter type by any air force in any conflict.
