As nobody has taken up the "Open House", here is the next challenge.

OK my immediate thought was that this was a Boeing P26 'Peashooter' until I noticed the peashooter is not there, nor is the built up fairing aft of the headrest and the wheel fairings are the wrong shape!

Is it an early prototype of the P26?

[chiglet]

Severski? [fore runner of Republic] P35
watp,iktch

[sabredog]

Sorry, but it is not the delightful Boeing P-26, or an earlier mark of the same.
Correct era, and it was possibly obviously built to the same specifications.

[sabredog]

No, Chiglet, it is not the Severski p-35.

[S'land]

Mitsubishi A5M?

[sabredog]

Neither is it the Mitsubishi A5M. Sorry.
But there is a link between the two aircraft!

[sabredog]

Some more clues;
First flown in1933.
The makers of this aircraft also produced railways trains!
Only 14 aircraft built.
Sold to one country only.

sabredog's challenge

We seem to be stuck on this one. To recap:-

Not the Mitsubishi A5M. But there is a link between the two aircraft!
First flown in1933.
The makers of this aircraft also produced railways trains!
Only 14 aircraft built.
Sold to one country only.

Is the link between this aircraft and the Mitsubishi the country of origin i.e. Japan?
If not was the aircraft manufactured in the USA?

[S'land]

How about the Breda Ba.27 from Italy?

The aircraft was turned down by Italian Regia Aeronautica, but was later sold to the Republic of China for use in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

[sabredog]

Thank you,S'land. Well done. The Breda ba.27. is correct.
The link was the Mitsubishi A5M, as both aircraft fought against each other in the 1937 Sino-Japanese war. Breda also produced railway trains.

You have control.

[S'land]

Thanks Saberdog, that was difficult.

OK, here we go. Please bear with me as this is the first time that I have done this.

[sabredog]

Arado 234?

[S'land]

Spot on, Saberdog.

You have control again.

... I saw a Globemaster in 64 AOG at Athens in the hot summer,load platform lowered and cows wandering round the tarmac .I gave them water when our own aircraft was topped up. Sadly I heard they crashed soon after in the Middle East mountains. I always thought till today that it was a sort of Boeing.

Thank you,S'land.
"Open House", as I have nothing to submit.
