On second thoughts.......

I don't think it is the Fiat after all. No windows at the side which I think a Fiat would have.

Planegill is spot on Well done The Thorp designed two-place Wing Derringer was a good performer. You have control.

I understand the Wing Derringer was going to be put back into production by a company in Mojave, but the plans were stymied when the test aircraft was lost in a fatal spin accident.
Here is the next challenge for you experts.

Hi Bri - Yes it looks like a Beech wheel, but the aircraft was not made by them. I don't know how many were built.

Thanks Gill. The inter-connecting rudder bar and large trim wheel would indicate a rather long moment aft. Presently, I don't have a clue. (other than the upside-down Beechcraft yoke and centre present Pioneer Compass). Good hunting mates!

Not the Fiat G.12. It is from the Western side of the Atlantic.

Planegill's challenge

Just a wild guess, the Ford 14-A Tri-Motor, perhaps?
