The KingCobra was a development of the P40 AiraCobra, the USAAF however preferred the P51 Mustangs that they already had in service so the KingCobra spent most of its operational life in service with other nations under lend lease agreements. This example is being operated by the Soviets to defend airspace against Japanese incursion.
