The Stearman-Hammond Y-1S (Y-150) was a result of a U.S. Department of Commerce design specification ...
They obviously included "ugly" in the spec.

Hmmm...something from the 'four is too many and two not enough' school of aircraft design. Is it Italian?

Maybe the French S.P.C.A. (Societe Provencale Constructions Aeronautiques) 90 perhaps?

Sorry, not the SPCA 90, but you have the right nationality.

There can only be a few French tri-motors left, so I'll go for the wrong one= Bregeut 393T, then Mel can give us the right answer

Planegill's challenge

Well kitbag I do not know about giving the right answer but I would say that from the cockpit window arrangement and it being a tri-motor I would say it could be the Bloch MB300.The control yokes are similar to the those on the Bloch 220.

My alternative trimotor was actually the Bloch MB120, but a closer look at the screen arrangement as you suggest show that you are (probably) right- again!.

Only 04:45 in Oz, the suspense is killing me

Sorry, not a Bloch or a Breguet. I have to admit this is probably a bit obscure, as I can't find any evidence that more than the prototype was built. (It doesn't rate a mention in John Stroud's Putnam book.) The photo comes from a company brochure dated 1932.

Couzinet 33 'Biarritz' or Latécoère 35 perhaps?

Not a Couzinet or a DB70. Although the model is not well-known, the company certainly is, producing a wide range of private and up-to-airliner size aircraft before the war.
