Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
Is it from the USA Mel?
Tricycle gear?
To me the vertical tail leading edge looks curved - ruling out the Marauder? Hard to tell how far away the turret is from the tail/fuselage join.
Is it possible side blisters are occluded from the shot and it's the Consolidated Privateer?
Just a guess.

Embarrassment
Gentlemen, my sincere apologises 
. My source "Luftfahrt International" included the photograph in an article on the Martin B26 Marauder Aircraft. Taking up Graeme's points and checking with the full photograph it is of course the Douglas A20 Havoc. Sabredog clearly identified the aircraft as the Douglas A20 at post # 10575 therefore the accolade should go to him. Many thanks Graeme 
it has taught me to check and double check ones sources and not take them at face value

You have control Terry.

Thanks gents. Easily done Mel - caption people can be deliberately misleading! 
Easy one in return then, and not on your list Mel. Can't monitor it, so please move on once you identify it. Cheers.

G'day Terry.
I can't find a precise name for this, but the internet keeps referring to it as the Oblique Wing Research Aircraft built by NASA?
NASA - Oblique Wing Research Aircraft

Thanks Terry. I remembered the NASA AD-1 and personally call it a swivel wing but oblique wing starts the fireworks with google showing many examples.
I'll follow on from Mel and try another gunner with the "determined look"...
