A new one, and hope a difficult one...
Hi Graeme,
This was a real challenge! the Herrick Convertoplane or Vertaplane
Herrick Convertoplane helicopter - development history, photos, technical data
help needed please...I tried to locate this jet by canvassing all more or less recent jets of the polish air force but none matched the attached image....Could somebody give me a clue?
Thanks a lot in advance

It is indeed a Curtiss XP-23. Emilio gets all honours again!Again the sleek lines of the aircraft sugest a British design, like the hawker Spanish Fury, but the spats are completely different. Perhaps again an US design?? Maybe a Curtiss XP-23???

G'day Ken. Agreed but further down the site the photos are labelled XP-82. Others have labelled it the XP-92. I dunno. I tried to find more with this thread...
