I thought it was a hawker Duiker but the engine seems wrong - and of course its not German

Is this post WW1?

ea200, absolutely correct - it is indeed the Fisher P-75 BEagle!

Rather a poor aircraft, intended to be a long range escort fighter. Heavy, unmanoeuvrable and unstable, it was soon canned in favour of the P-51 with additional fuel tanks.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_P-75_Eagle

ea200, you have control!!

Thanks BEagle. I came across P-75 when I was searching for the What Cockpit thread just a few days ago. As soon as I saw it I knew I had seen it before and a quick review of my search history did the job. I only logged on just after your post by chance.

Now for somethng a bit more recent:
