This plane was a hunk of junk (i've heard) and fit only for firewood...

Haven't a clue from the photo, but from the description, I'll guess at Blackburn Botha.

XP-75?
Nope, nope and nope. It's an inflight picture and that thing that looks like a window is actually a prop hub, so that would make it twin engine then wouldn't it. The British had an infinately more successful version...
It is not German. Though you are on the right trail with it being made out of wood...like I think Terry was with the Botha (wasn't that made of wood?). I got the picture from our archieves...

That's a strange shape for a prop hub/boss/spinner. So, a twin, made of wood, and certainly not a Mosquito, and not British or German. My brain hurts ....

Yeah that Argentine "Mossie" had a glass nose. OK, wooden, twin engine and...it was stamped "Made in the US of A"
Nah...This thing was not that graceful, though it did make it into a (small) series production...

If it happens to be a Grumman product, then I think I know what it is, but can't remember the name/number!
No not Grumman. It was made by a company that was going like gang-busters during the war, but after...no so much at all

Hmm. I can think of only two which might fit the 'not very good description', so I'll start with the Curtis-Wright XP-55, although as far as i know, only the wing was wood.
Terry you have the right manufacturer, but the wrong plane...almost there...

Then maybe the Curtiss C-76 Caravan?
Damn straight Terry! Good for you!
