What are the advantages to Mid engined aircraft like this?....Chris.
With the Bell Airacobra it was mainly to accomodate a large cannon in the nose, and I suppose it might give lower inertia for better handling. No idea what the idea was with the Eagle.
Also like you say, guess it allows easy install for guns/cannons in the nose.
By the way, what can be concidered the BEST piton engines fighter ever? Best meaning the ultimate in design and ability.

Chris.

Not sure what types he had experience of though. For example, the FW TA152 was supposed to be an exceptional HA interceptor / fighter.
