The Pacific Profiles series offers the most precise WWII profiles of aircraft that served in the South Pacific theater. Volume Six covers a dozen USAAF Fifth and Thirteenth Air Force squadrons that operated the Bell P-39 and P-400 Airacobra from April 1942 until March 1944. These aircraft were utilized in various roles, including fighters, dive-bombers, and strafers. The colorful heraldry and nose art of Fifth Air Force Airacobras is attributed to the frequent trading of specific airframes between units. Previously, there was limited information available about the markings of Thirteenth Air Force Airacobras, and this volume addresses this gap. The first and last Airacobras lost in the theater are depicted, along with rare markings of a night fighter and a P-39 used by Fifth Fighter Command. This volume includes early P-400s, P-39D/F/Ks, and late model P-39N/Qs. The development of markings for each squadron is explained, along with brief squadron histories accompanied by supporting photos. Extensive reference material was consulted, including rare photos, color movies, official records, diaries, and photos from wreck sites. The author, Michael Claringbould, is renowned for his expertise on the Pacific air war. Never before have such meticulous color profiles been illustrated with a comprehensive explanation of their markings.
