Hi I42
You are in the right neck of the woods and era, i.e. late 20s early 30s.

Possibly the DH 112 Sea Venom. However, the canopy does not look right for that aircraft.

American? Purely based on the rotund looking canopy maybe the Douglas F3D Skynight?

Convair YF-102?

The prototype and pre-production models designed and produced before the incorporation of Dr. Whitcombe's area rule fuselage with the coke bottle wasp waist of the F-102A.

This is a Douglas aircraft but not the project that never flew ie the Missileeer. However I think it might be the Douglas Skyraider AD-5N. The wide-bodied Skyraider.
