How about the American plane the Soviets had significant input for design mods?

Interesting. We are familiar with the aircraft:

The Airacobra is a neat aircraft. One the Soviets made work, after the British and Americans thought it was a dog. The Kingcobra, after Soviet input, was a bigger, better plane. With the Merlin, it was a 400+ mph plane at altitude.
I disagree with Copper. This is not an ugly airplane...

Nah, some of us just like WW2 history. In fact, several of us.
Another really, really interesting Soviet aircraft, that came about because the Americans wouldn't Lend/lease them any...Which is understandable, since we paid more to develop and build it than we spent on the atomic bomb.
