Re: Name that plane
Clearly, the French airplane designers were not on the side of the Germans!

Re: Name that plane
Correct, both of you. I was reading about the aircraft and it said approx. 1/2 of the ones built were lost to accidents.
Also the Blue Angels flew two aircraft for a few shows.

Re: Name that plane
It kind of looks like a Curtiss YA-14. Then the front of the fuselage looks like the back of a P-61

Re: Name that plane
Scoops on top for an oil cooler? Or carb intake?

Carburetor intakes. The round scoop on the wing is the oil cooler.

Re: Name that plane
Heres a hint. Not Wright-Cyclones. They are 680 hp Hispano-Suiza engines.

Re: Name that plane
The last clue helped narrow my search, but even with that, I just kind of stumbled upon the answer.

Correct!!!!! I too just stumbled upon the aircraft in my searches LOL. Quite a nice looking aircraft
"Zmaj R-1
One prototype Zmaj R-1 ordered March 1938 and delivered in April 1940 for trials and evaluation. Twin-engined fighter-destroyer. 680 hp Hispano-Suiza 14Ab engines. Damaged on landing soon after first flight and repairs took until February 1941. Evaluation had not resumed by the time of the April 1941 attack by Germany. Captured by the Germans, but destroyed by sabotage in late June 1941, before it could be handed to the Croatian Air Force."
Zmaj R-1

Re: Name that plane

wh1skea-good catch.
Next one please.
Take care,
Salty

Re: Name that plane
Yes I agree it was a very nice looking aircraft but the German fighters would have shot them down in droves.
