P-39 Airacobra Recovered from the Black Sea
“SIMFEROPOL, September 25. / TASS /. An expedition of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO), together with the Russian Ministry of Defense, lifted a Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter from the bottom of the Black Sea from the regiment that took part in the air cover of the Yalta conference of leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition in 1945, a specialist from the Expeditionary Center of the Ministry of Defense Anatoly told TASS on Friday Kalemberg.”
As many of you know I am a huge fan of the P-39 Airacobra. So I was particularly interested to read these reports of the recovery of this P-39 from the Black Sea. These are the links to the articles I have read so far from various news publications.

If anyone has any further information to share on this project please drop me a line and I will feature updates in future articles; perhaps even progress on the restoration.
