I applaud their sense of nationalism but it makes it a pain in the ass to learn more about their role in the war.

List of US/Soviet Lend-Lease

P-39Q
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.)
