Please dont flame/skewer me for this its just a question and its me venting my frustration towards something that happened ages ago.
As you all know the P-39 was damned at the beginning with the removal of its General Electric B5 Turbo Supercharger, with it, it would have promised to be a good contender at the outset of 41. Instead it became loathed by many for its sluggish performance at medium/high altitude.
Would it prove difficult to produce an XP-39? with the added performance of the GE B5 turbo?
once again I know its out of the blue and quite vague, but Id be a happy camper if there was a way.
