Alexander Pokryshkin was born on March 6th 1913 in Novo-Nikolaevsk (now Novosibirsk) to a working-class family. He was fascinated by planes from the age of 12 and at the age of 19 he volunteered for the Red Army, where he trained as an aircraft technician. During his vacation and unbeknownst to his superiors, he completed a year-long civilian pilot program in 17 days, allowing him to enroll in military pilot courses. During World War II, he became the most successful Soviet ace flying an American aircraft and preferred the P-39. Pokryshkin continued his military career after the war, rising to the rank of air marshal.

About this aircraft
- Pokryshkin’s P-39N-0 has less machine guns in the wings, making it faster and more maneuverable, allowing you to utilize the excellent flight characteristics of this aircraft to defeat any enemy! The powerful 37 mm M4 cannon in the nose can take out enemies with a hit, with backup from the two 12.7 mm Browning machine guns in the wings for good measure.
