The P-39 was indeed designed as a fighter, but switched over to a ground attack role due to a lucky combination of her defects (slow, bad turn rate) and her assets (heavy nose canon, ability to take abuse).
And I didn't mean to insult the P-40; hell, I love the looks of that beast. And she saved our proverbial bacon for the lone simple fact that you stated: she was all we had. Every source is clear, I'm afraid. The P-40 was an all-around unimpressive aircraft.
Cheerio, pip pip!
