this one looks to be a bit of a challenge

I know what it is, but I'm not going to say it. I want to see how long this stays up for.

There is an Me, like Me-262, name to it also. See if you can get it.

You don't want much do you Rocket ...

Okay ... Full title: Arthur Sack A.S.6(V1)/Me-600 Bussard (Buzzard).

The Me-600 was a proposed re-design by Messerschmit with enlarged wing, a more powerful engine and an armament of six cannons giving the me-600 the potential to be a 500mph fighter. The "Bussard" (Buzzard) bit was the nickname given it by Komet pilots who thought the name fitting due to the amount of time the plane spent on the ground, plus the fact it was primarily made up of scavenged spare parts.

Anything else???

To be perfectly honest Rocket, didn't occur to me that. Didn't think someone of Patton's caliber would make such a simple oversight.

Got my "hard earned" info from 'Luft '46' website ...

LOL ... It's cool! It was a bit of a "schoolboy" error that Patton.

I'll have to dig deep to find a "head scratcher" for you guys ... If I can't find anything by tomorrow I'll throw it open to y'all.

No takers???? Not even a vague "guesstimate"

Okay ... A little clue to get you going: Year of manufacture was 1917.

S.E. 5a? Doesn't look like it, but worth a guess.

I does look late WW1. My first guess was an Ansaldo SVA 5 but the lower wing of the Ansaldo was level with the lower fuselage. Also the fuselage cross section is too round.

Rocket ... Right period, but wrong plane and wrong country.

TiredOldSoldier ... Again, right period. Right country but wrong plane.

Ansaldo A 1 Balilla? The wing looks a bit high on the pic i saw.

No, it's not an Ansaldo ... But it is an Italian WWI Fighter.

Found a list of the planes tested and accepted by DTAM (Direzione Tecnica Aviazione Militare) The only Italian origin single seaters are:
SVA 3 (Ansaldo)
SVA 5 (Ansaldo)
A1 (Ansaldo Balilla)
ISVA
That would leave only the misterious ISVA I can't find any additional info about unless it's another prototype that failed acceptance testing.

BTW I also found a technical report where a test pilot, sent by DTAM to check on field reports of bad manouverability, found the flying schools tought new pilots to turn without banking !!!

Come on now TiredOldBean ... Y'all have an unlimited (or so it would seem) knowledge of airplanes ... (Or internet search tactics). I've tried the rare prototype tactic (worked for Rocket) and the dodgey photo, even the captured planes bearing the wrong insignia ... Someone always gets them right. How about a combo, I thought ... Bad photo, prototype and 'missleading' insignia ... ... So far-e so good-e.

A bit too 'good-e', I decided to do a little 'photo-shop' on the original image because it bore the only clue to the planes ID. Three little letters on the tail had to go ... It's time to reveal those letters by showing the photo... A bit of tactical 'searching' should produce the result...

I think it's the Stiavelli-Luzzatti-Ducrot fighter prototype, I'd never heard of the thing before.

LOL ... No, neither had I mate, but that is exactly what it is ... Good use of 'Google'. Over to you ...

That looks like a P-51D, but looks can be deceiving.
