No, it is Russian!

Yermlayev Yer-2?

Good eye, it is indeed the Yermolayev Yer-2 twin-engine bomber.

The Yer-2 is a fairly obscure bomber to history despite it's accomplishments.

Well done!

OK, this one should not be too hard.

Hahaha! Good one Token! I see we frequent the same threads.

Thanks Jim. Interesting aircraft and connection with your friend who worked with them.

I was impressed with that Cooley aircraft a few pages back and with the gentleman who identified it. At the time I assumed portholes meant maritime aircraft. Anyway, while looking for it, i found this...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Would that be an English man perhaps?

Don't know him personally, but logic says he is a Brit...
