The chief is not reacting so I will jump the gun as I'm pretty confident (though it may be the 771 as I was unable to find the differences between the two) and I need to go to work.

Hope this keeps you busy for a few hours, but I must admit it's not in the "latvian prototype" league, I'm still looking for that ......

It looks of Gee Bee decent. I still want to say is a Polikarpov I-16, but the cowling isn't the same. Or even the Polikarpov I-15, but mono instead of Bi.

Looks like a Yakovlev Air-7 what with the over-wing struts, but I don't reckon so. Think that was last Yak to have struts so maybe not that...

Not a Gee Bee and not a Yak, I admit it does look a lot like a peashooter but with those struts it's not.
Hint: For now the only "hit" is the country of service .....

Thanks for the promotion Rocket...lol

May I humbly request a "Time-Out" ? Knowledge is everything, someone with loads of it once said... most of it seems to be on this thread lol. Spend ages looking for a "Doozy" only to have it fall before you can refresh page...

I will find one for tomorrow???
Must sleep...Eyes healing over...lol

You made me work for it, I looked up the Ki 51, Vultee Vengeance, and Su-2 and was convinced the crosses below the wing were Spannish nationalist ..... then William Green came to the rescue.
This is a "discard" from the search that came up with the Ba 27 so should not be too hard.

Very "cagey" one that TiredOldSoldier, here I am looking at Italian and French when it's actually a Dornier Dolphin.

Dornier Dolphin (or Delphin) III is what it is, I wanted to be even more "cagey" and post the Dolphin I that was reported sold to the USN or the III sold to the RN but could find no picture of them.
Over to you.

The picture is there for me though there is a very suspicious red cross below it. It looks like a parasol winged fighter but it's not a Polish PZL 11 I can't really see if the wing is straight or gull shaped but too many details are different .... It could be a PZL 24. I found a picture of the second prototype PZL 24/II that has very similiar markings but had a 3 bladed propeller while the pic looks having a two bladed one.
