Republic P-43 Lancer (s/n unknown) assigned to the 1st Pursuit Group at Langley Field, VA. A 2nd Bomb Group, 96th Bomb Squadron North American BT-9 (a/c Nð 79) is visible in the background. The pilot of the P-43 is posed standing next to the aircraft wearing his flight gear.View attachment 382072

Sorry to be picky, but that's a BT-14 peering between the wheels. The low hanging motor and triangular rudder are the giveaways.

Note the two "protrusions" aft of the fuselage strip. Anyone know what they are for? I can't remember ever seeing them before.

IIRC they're apertures for recce cameras. There's another rectangular camera window on the underside just forward of the fuselage stripe. I still haven't figured out how they maintained longitudinal stability with cameras so far aft.

Here's a RAAF P-43 after a mishap. These airframes were used in the PR role. Note the blanking plate on the rear fuselage in the same location as the fairings in the above pic.

Would ya look at that? I was right (for once)!

 

[Wurger]

Yep ..

 

[Capt. Vick]

Wow! Just Wow! You never fail to impress Wurger! Just brilliant!

Didn't know the Air Corp operated it in the Recon roll.
