Re: Name that plane
This one won't be hard, but I post in honor of my friend's dad. As far as I can research, he served as bombardier in this plane.

Re: Name that plane
If I were the history channel I would call it a B-25 or a Lancaster. 
Consolidated PB4Y

Correct. More specifically, a PB4Y-1, navalized version of the Liberator. The PB4Y-2 was a more heavily modified B-24 with a longer fuselage, single vertical stabilizer, and deleted turbochargers.
Your turn.

Re: Name that plane
I will stay with the naval bomber theme. This plane is very overlooked in WWII.

Re: Name that plane
I'd hazard a guess its some variant of a Vickers Warwick bomber, but I'm not sure which variant!

Re: Name that plane
Thanks! 
Here's the tough luck story of an used aircraft salesman. There he is ...just sitting there waiting for the hordes to arrive for a chance to bid on this fine example of a....?????

Re: Name that plane
This aircraft gets very little written about it for some reason.

Re: Name that plane
Martin Maryland aka Martin 187. These were originally ordered by France. After that country fell the aircraft were delivered through Lend-Lease to Britain (and already paid for too!). Used in the Mediterrainian theater mostly as reconnissance aircraft because of their relatively high speed.
A few in French hands were in North Africa when the US invaded. These soldiered on in the FFAF afterwards.

Re: Name that plane
Thought I'd have a go at it.. and get a bit more modern (though only about 15 years).

Yeah, he's been quiet for a while on this one, so I figured I'd throw one out there to try to get the game going again... no offense meant

Re: Name that plane
Most know I usually just answer the questions. Too many of the ones I put up are too hard to answer so I just let someone else have a go instead.

Re: Name that plane
Northrop XP-56 serial 42-38353. This is the second prototype. Made of all magneisum metal to lighten the aircraft. Interesting features included venturies in the wingtips to operate a flap / spoiler system. Otherwise proved largely a failure.
