How about the Breda Zapata BZ 308 as a possibility? Doh!
More likely the Cant Z 511 perhaps?

aviate1138 is correct.
There is a Zappata connection! The long range CANT Z.511A hydroplane was designed by Filippo Zappata, who also designed a lovely post-war airliner. Later on in the war, there was a mission planned for the giant CANT Z.511A to fly to New York and drop propaganda leaflets, and still another mission planned to disrupt shipping from North America to Great Britain by dropping midget submarines off Long Island, NY, Nova Scotia, Canada, and Newfoundland. You have control.

Bloody cold. -25C yesterday morning. And snowy. And miserable. Do you know what a "block heater" is?
-4C and sunny right now at 13:30 local. Monday should be plus 7C and sunny. Spring is coming!. Massive temp. fluctuations in these parts.

Same country, different state. Not a Voodoo.
Apparently 18 were produced. Claimed a number of records during operations.

aviatte1138's challenge
Judging by the lack of response to aviatte1138's challenge it must have been a very secret aircraft. Although I understand it was the 12th design in the development of the aircraft in the process of replacing it's predecessor.

Martin Marietta X-24a.. 
Added to say I thought it was a Martin from the logos on the pedals, but a hint helped identify it..
