Hello MR.

The engine isn't American and nor is the aeroplane.

I believe it is the biplane fighter named the MVT Marchetti Vickers-Terni.

Thanks dook. Good challenge. I was surprised it was a fighter with what appeared to be very fragile interplane striurs.
Here is the next but much easier one;-

Raising the tail on the takeoff roll is gonna put the prop awfully close to the ground?

Not Russian I'm afraid.

It's almost like an Aeronca C.2 configuration-wise. I have no clue beyond that I'm afraid.
