I am impressed Mr Evansb You are indeed correct. I cut out the wing as I thought it was too much of a giveaway.

The only one I have heard of still 'alive' is in a museum in Krakov':
My aplogies for not being able to confirm earlier: different time zone.

The glazing reminds me of a Dornier flying boat, D0-24 perhaps, or even the D0-26?

Probably way off the mark on this one, but is it a crop sprayer? Possibly the NDN-6 Fieldmaster.

Is this a U.S. built Naval aircraft of 1940s vintage?

That'll be evansbe correct again!

The Vultee Vengeance divebomber it is. Interestingly, whilst reading around this one it becomes clear that the A31 was destined only for export and after extensive development delays, the aircraft went to Britain and the Commonwealth. These aircraft were built almost exclusively by Northrop. The USAAC insisted on many detail changes such that the designation was changed to A35, however it did not manage to tick all the boxes so was eventually abadoned by the Americans.
