Thanks for proving my point. Next question Soviet Ace, what all American planes did the Russians use in WW II? I saw that they also used the P-40 somewhere, but it almost seems like the Russians are deliberately trying to dissuade people from learning about their use of foreign fighters in favor of promoting the Soviets planes. I applaud their sense of nationalism but it makes it a pain in the ass to learn more about their role in the war.

The French contracted with Curtiss for 140 P-40B's, but surrendered before they could be delivered. These were then diverted to the RAF. The Free French operating out of bases in southern England used a variety of planes, though they mainly flew Spitfires, P-51B Mustangs and operated two squadrons of A-20 Havocs carrying both British and Free French markings.

The vichy (nazi collaborating bastards) French generally flew Dewoitine D.520 fighters with bright yellow tail sections, excluding the rudder, to identify them to Luftwaffe pilots. The markings were later changed to red and yellow horizontal stripes. The majority of the vichy air force was annihilated by American F-4F's operating from the USS Ranger during Operation Torch.

This should help with some planes, most of them anyway.

P-400
P-40B (Only 4 of them, all were put some where hidden, and forgotten about?)
P-40E
P-40K
B-29 (Not purposely, but the American B-29s that were to damaged to make it back to base, landed in Russia, where the Russians copied the B-29 and gave it a new name etc.)

Here is an interesting article about the Spitfire Vbs operated by the 57h GIAP. If you have been looking around you will probably have come across this anyway but here is the link http://lend-lease.airforce.ru/englis...spit/index.htm.
