Almost want to say an early P-40.

The P-40 was already in service when this aircraft's earliest version was being designed...but the P-40 (here's another clue) and this aircraft's fist version shared the same engine

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

P-38?

 

[T Bolt]

P-51?

 

[hub]

P-82/F-82?

 

[GrauGeist]

Good Guess Aaron and real close hub!

And TB, which model?

(I'll be real nice here and offer up one last clue)

There were only 555 of this version built (only 4 survive, 2 are airworthy)

 

[hub]

Not the H model?

 

[GrauGeist]

Not the H model?

It is indeed the H...well done! (and credit goes to TB, also!)

This shot was taken at the Redding (California) airshow, September, 2009

 

[norab]

and I thought I was rotten, no mercy next time

 

[hub]

My shot then

 

[Capt. Vick]

I remember that shot....it had a 'whats wrong with this picture ' type comment. It wasnt the fact that the '51 had no wheel chocks, it was th fact that some-one had been on an acid trip before painting the Stearman in the background.

I'm enjoying watching this thread

 

[nuuumannn]

French Fw 190s, NC 900s?

 

[hub]

French but not FW190

 

[GrauGeist]

Is that a S.N.C.A.C built AACr-6?

 

[hub]

No its not a licence built 190,

it's not what it seems

 

[T Bolt]

Bloch MB-152

 

[GrauGeist]

I would almost guess an IAR 80, but the quality of the photo keeps me from seeing the "chin" vent in the cowling and the landing gear screams Fw190...man, you're killin' me here!

 

[hub]

T-Bolt got it!

 

[T Bolt]

Boy that was a shot in the dark! I knew it was French and it sure looked like a fighter, so I picked the only radial engined French fighter I knew.

Here's the next one:

 

[GrauGeist]

Ahh dang, I didn't even think of the Bloch...good call, TB!!

Wow...this is gonna be a tough one, I can see that already :/
