Damn! Another airplane!!

[ChezDaJez]

Looks like a Hurricane, not sure of the model. You can see the wood stringers and fabric on the side.

If its a Hurricane, I'd say II, probably IID. A Hurri one didn't have underwing racks IIRC (note bomb at far right).

Engine cowl doesn't look right. Hmmmm

[Tankerace]

I first thought it was a Kittyhawk because of the cockpit, and then I thought it a spit. Not the best angle to shoot a plane.... no pun intended.

[jcjordan]

It shouldn't be Spit as wings don't have the elliptical look to the rear edge plus no gear near centerline of a/c in pic, it has a wide spread landing gear. To me it still looks to be in the Hurricane family.

[ChezDaJez]

Exhaust doesn't look right either for a Merlin but I couldn't think of any other wood and fabric construction aircraft.

Morane Saulnier comes to my mind, but I guess they were not used in pacific. I'd say some Dutch recon plane.

[Tankerace]

I don't know why, but the cockpit and wing keep screaming P-40! at me.... wierd.

Hurricane IIB in Soviet VVS Service 72 IAP.

[Onime No Kyo]

I think thats a stretch. And yet, there's something about the pilot's garb that screams Russian. Maybe its the pantlegs tucked into the boots.

[wild_Willie2]

that engine mount just screams "tiger moth" to me, but that is impossible as it was a old biplane. It DOES make me speculate that it is a (old) british engine mount. Alas, still NO IDEA what it could be.......................

[steveh11Matrix]

My first thought was Hurricane, too - but the engine cowling really doesn't look right. However, it may just be the photo - after all, where's the propellor?

[Subchaser]

One of those Morane-Saulnier 406 fighters from Escadrille 2/ Groupe Aerien Mixte 596 of Vichy IndoChina Air Force

…just a guess

[Crimguy]

Gotta put in a vote. I think it's a Yak 7 (B?)

[Stavka_lite]

My vote is for MS406, Cockpit and nose cowling doesn't look right for a Yak-7

M.S. 406..
Absolutely not even close to being a Hurricane,nor a Spit,nor a Curtiss,nor a Swordfish,nor a Lancaster,nor a B 17,nor a ..............
