American mono plane not military and of somewhat later date.
I think the altitude gauge is quite overrated.

dook 9th Oct 2019 12:42

Is it in a museum ?

Early Northrop ?

dook 9th Oct 2019 13:44

Ford Flivver.

American instruments. A lot of extra knobs and dials where legs should go!

An American trainer, equipped for test flying?

Self loading bear 9th Oct 2019 20:52

Not much more as a chipmunk but slightly newer Ab-initio military trainer
in tandem?

is that a sliding fuel tray or a like?

dook 9th Oct 2019 20:54

American yes.

Trainer no.

sycamore 9th Oct 2019 20:59

Can`t make up my mind about this; looks in part like a `40s fighter/trainer,factory built,but the main panel looks like a `homebuilt` affair,probably American...also there is a significant mark on the ASI at 140 kts,but no other for Vmax,,and if it is single pointer,still seems limiting.There is a mark at 36" on the boost,which suggests it is powered in 450-600 hp range (+3lbs in old money)... So ,tandem/single,biplane or mono.....?

dook 9th Oct 2019 21:02

Single, monoplane, 600hp.

sycamore 9th Oct 2019 21:55

GeeBee or Hughes H-1...?

dook 9th Oct 2019 22:11

Sorry - neither.

sycamore 10th Oct 2019 10:25

Is it unique,ie type of work,record,one off only, in a museum,,..?

dook 10th Oct 2019 10:43

Not unique or a one-off.

A total of 151 were built but only two survive and three reproductions are on exhibit.

A fighter......

dook 10th Oct 2019 13:19

There is one displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

SincoTC 10th Oct 2019 14:23

Hi dook,

just got in and got a few hours to kill, I thought this would have been nabbed by now with those clues!

Gotta be a Boeing P-26 Peashooter innit?

dook 10th Oct 2019 14:39

I wondered when you would pitch up.

I thought there were enough clues as well - I was about to add the engine.

Boeing Peashooter innit.

All yours.

SincoTC 10th Oct 2019 14:54

Thanks dook, been pretty busy, so is prepared in a hurry and prolly won't last long :)

dook 10th Oct 2019 15:12

….and into Photoshop it goes.

I see what looks like Cyrillic on the two labels, no letters on the T&S indicator, and a strange instrument to the right of it. Buttons on the stick.

This wouldn't be a Russian fighter would it ?

SincoTC 10th Oct 2019 15:38

Well, it fought for the Russians, but it isn't classified as a fighter!

dook 10th Oct 2019 15:47

The buttons on the stick must be for something.

A mud-mover 'praps.

Biplane or mono ?

It carried guns and rockets, it was for (light) ground attack and a monoplane

dook 10th Oct 2019 16:00

Maybe the Ilyushin Il-2.

SincoTC 10th Oct 2019 16:17

Sorry, not an Ilyushin, even an optical one ! :O

dook 10th Oct 2019 16:18

……...:uhoh:...…….

dook 10th Oct 2019 17:07

This tricky targeting job.

A Yak ?

Yes it is :ok:

dook 10th Oct 2019 17:45

So far, everything is coming up as either a fighter or a trainer. :sad:

dook 10th Oct 2019 17:58

Err......no they aren't.

How about the UT-1 ?

SincoTC 10th Oct 2019 18:07

I think that's near enough mate! In fact the UT-1 trainer became the UT-1B - Wartime attack version when fitted with two ShKAS machine guns and two or four RS-82 rockets.

Airwar, my image source, classifies it as a Light attack aircraft.

Control is yours!! :ok:


dook 10th Oct 2019 18:26

Perhaps someone with less time than me would like to post.

sycamore 10th Oct 2019 21:06

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0948a01fe9.jpg
something a bit different

dook 10th Oct 2019 21:11

Good job you posted - I was about to.

dook 10th Oct 2019 21:16

Into Photoshop yet again.

Placards/notices suggest cropsrayer.

Above the engine operation panel is a sentence in Spanish/Italian which ends in the word "agricola"

dook 10th Oct 2019 21:28

"crop sprayer cockpit" into Google = first line 4th right = AT-402B Air Tractor. :)

sycamore 10th Oct 2019 22:10

Right ,go and get down in the weeds,and do some real lo-flying........

dook 11th Oct 2019 08:35

Weeds - will this do ?


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....88124cfa36.jpg

dook 11th Oct 2019 08:39

Next one.....

SincoTC 11th Oct 2019 10:50

Morning dook,

Looking at the rocket selector panel and general layout, ASI etc, I'm thinking early COIN, 1950's piston powered ?
