It has to be some type of Fokker, or based on a Fokker.

Sorry, not at all
OK, gents, time for some hint:
The little company that built this little bird was american, precisely it was based in NY state. They built and offered to US Army trainers; they had something to do with Keystone.
Guessed?
Still not?
Cheers
As promised here is the picture of Ikarus B-5, the first Yugoslav experimental airplane with pilot in prone position. This aircraft was designed by Dragoljub Bešlin and build in only one example, as prototype for proposed dive bomber, in 1940. After occupation of Yugoslavia in April 1941 this airplane (apparently damaged) was captured by the Germans and its further fate remains unknown.
Translation of the Cyrillic text on the picture:
"Assembly hangar of "Ikarus" before the out brake of World War Two. Ikarus B-5, prototype of indigenous experimental twin-engined light aircraft with pilot in prone position, accompanied with other planes produced in this Airplane factory, IK-2 and Blenheim."

BTW would you give us a clue or two about above mentioned post?

What about this funny "zinc" (as they say in France)?

LOVE the ferry! Have you notioced that the passengers heads look as if they are painted on? Maybe nobody would fly in it
It's a twin engine aircraft which actually never flew. The designer and builder was arrested the day before its planned flight. Engines and wheels are from motorcles (I got a bike of this type years ago, maybe I buy it back and restore it just out of nostalgia). And carson, we had a lot of good taste then, but sometimes there are things that are more important than that.
