Well, I though I could give this little game a go.
And Raptor guessed it correctly as Irbītis I-16. Here is a little description provided by him:
"The VEF I-16 was a prototype Latvian fighter aircraft designed by Kārlis Irbītis and produced by VEF in 1939. Development was halted by the Soviet occupation of Latvia and subsequent purges of VEF personnel. In the spring 1940 Latvian air force pilots made the first test flights with VEF I-16. An already obsolete Latvian fighter was of little value to the Soviets and so only one was built. Following Operation Barbarossa, the single example was captured by German forces and tested by the Luftwaffe. The VEF I-16 was used as training aircraft at an aviation school in Torun until 1942."
It is a french D.something captured after french army defeat in '40 i think.
A fine guess, but a wrong one.
almost looks like a modern day red bull plane, but not sure what it is, im thinking russian
An American or british plane?
I would say a modern stunt plane, but with the swastikas.... :/
p40 warhawk with modified/replaced landing gear?
looks exactly like p40 with stuka landing gear
I thought it was a captured P-51 Mustang from the look of the cockpit and wing...I could be wrong though
Oy.
