Carson, its a Grumman F9F isn't it? Looks odd out of its USN scheme though, and is that canopy a conversion?

Strange that Waynos or Tzaw didn't jump to it yet...matbe it went unnoticed....anyway it is one of the very few sport planes built in the USSR in the thirties: it is the Nikitin NV-1 which flew so well (in 1933) that after 9 flights it was abandoned!
It is rather similar in outlook to an italian aircraft of the same period a pic of which I'll send thru as soon as i can find it.
Cheers

Very good Tzaw that's what it is and apologies for my poor geography I always got mixed up with the three baltic states but of course Estonia is hte northernmost one!

Ouch! Clumsy bugger.

Despite the star on the wing, it has the look of a Nieuport. Is it a Nieuport 17?
