Not the Koolhoven FK.41 Bri. This aircraft was not Dutch.
Here is a photograph of the challenge aircraft's front cockpit the one shown at Post#464 is of the rear cockpit.

Bri has it again it is indeed the Breda Ba.15
Ba.15-light aircraft, developed by the Italian company Breda. The first flight of the prototype aircraft took place in 1928. The first aircraft was followed by a more successful version of the aircraft-Ba.15S. She was produced with several engines - Colombo S.63 output of 118 hp, Walter Mars 140 hp, Walter Venus 110 hp Isotta-Fraschini. Asso 80Ri 105 л.с. Asso 80Ri 105 hp. The Ba.15H was a Ba.15 with floats

Thanks Mel. Great challenge. That one had me puzzled as I initially overlooked the photo I have of a Breda 15 , the step-down nose version. The unusual pilot seating of the early Ba.15 would account for the elaborate windscreen perspex. Here is the next cockpit:

Ercoupe? The early variant that tried to have controls as close to a car as possible. In unlikely event I got it right (Bri doesn't choose easy ones) it's open house as I'm off to an Xmas Party.

Planegill is correct The Stearman-Hammond Y-1S (Y-150) was a result of a U.S. Department of Commerce design specification for a safe spin-proof airplane for the private flyer. You have control.
