RegDep has it. My Jane's calls it a Beriev A-40 Albatross 'Mermaid'. Perhaps it is the improved A-42 version. Regardless, you have control

Ok, then...
Rumanian? a IAR? Maybe the 80 model?
Or... at least Axis 1939-45?

My source; it may be that it is a bit unclear what is A 40 and what is (will be?) the upgraded version of it, the A 42.

No way ………

I will take a pause of about an hour for dinner, so if not cracked in five minutes, I'll let it simmer for a while. Sorry for that (not sorry for dinner )

Have a nice dinner!
The Soko Jastreb (of 1939) and the FFVS J22 are remarkably similar... except for that tapering wing...

Re: RegDep and the Beriev A-40. The age of the photo would indicate it is indeed an A-40.
