What's the bomber...?

Which plane are you referring to?


And flyboyj, yes, of course it's a P-30. Interesting plane though, first production USAAC fighter with a turbo, retractable gear, and a closed canopy. Though the AAC (rightly) questioned the usefulness of the rear gunner. And it was easy, I have some better ones coming though.
 
Specifically the last YP-59A built, and the only one using the immproved armament (3x .50 in and a 37mm cannon instead of the 2x 37mm M4 cannons of the other YP's) which would be used on all subsequent models. (first tested on this model)

Now how about this one? Or the one below it, very similar apearance, but completly unrelated.
