    Fiat G50V. The production version was to be the Fiat G52 but this was dropped in favor of the G55.

    It's the DB 601 engined G.50V but, as you pointed out they decided to go directly to the DB 605 engined G.55 that had better potential.
    Your turn chief

    Vasily: Is MY turn to fly!

    Ivan: Nyet! Is MY turn!

    Vasily: Here's how to enter flat spin, comrade!

    Ivan: Nyet! I'll SHOW YOU how to flat spin.

    Alas, both Vasily and Ivan knew how to enter flat spin...but neither knew how to recover!

    A little clue, it was only a prototype, the designer was called Viktor :)

    and here's a photo of a model to make it clearer :)

    Looks one of the 6 Caudron C.714 that made it to Finland, the remaining 44 of a lot of 50 are reported as "lost en route", wonder what's behind that, accident, soviet naval action or "black ops" ?

    Absolutely right - Caudron C.714. as far as the fate of the 44 goes - best info that I could find was that they never actually left France due to chaos caused by a certain invasion, but it's possible there could be a more interesting story :)

    Yes it is the XC-35, surprlised it's called Electra too, usually the name is associated with the Mod 10 and L188.
