After 60 years, a Bell P-39 Aircobra was found intact in Russia with a
Harrison Radiator in it. Did you know that the girls, like Rosie the
Riveter, who built these planes wrote their names and addresses on the
plane's bulkheads? They're still there!

I thought I was more au fait than most with WWII war birds, but I'd never
even heard of (that I can recall) this particular marque. Instantly
recognisable, and I'll certainly know the next time I see one.
