Second picture is an A-26 and a TBM.

The third picture is a slipper tank for a Spitfire, I'm guessing.

The first picture is too dark and blurry to tell anything.

Too big for a Tigercat.  It's possibly an A-26, though I'm not convinced of that at all.  I don't know what that dark thing is on the bottom side of the wing just outboard of the nacelle.  The picture is out of focus, so it's hard to tell.
