Dear Graeme, I promise you I didn´t know the thread where the Chinese biplane appeared
Next time, if any, I´ll try to find a difficult one. By the way, the caption of the Chinese biplane defined it as a Fu Shin AP-1 Ning-Hsia
what's the name of this czech craft?

Hi Graeme,Hi Carson. You might be more successful with your image requests (such as the Curtiss A-12 above) if you made a thread so more people view it. Maybe titling it "Carson's Requests." Just a thought.
The Skoda D-1, a licensed version of the French Dewoitine D 21...

cam some kind guy confirm whether the attached pic represents the experimental Curtiss XP42 of 1939? The one thing however that puzzles me are the two gun barrels protruding from both air inlets which are unavailable in similar pics. Weren't they supposed to cool off carberettors (I mean the air inlets)?
Thanks in advance for helping me.

No. That's the XP-40. The XP-42 was the P-36A with a completely cowled over radial engine and an extended prop shaft and large spinner. It was an in-line engine wannabe-looking design. The XP-42 engine shaft had serious vibration problems and the design lost to the XP-40.
