Let's try this:



For extra kudos describe what do we see on the left and what on the right half of the pic.

[Kilo]

Pe-8? The thing on the left looks like an OPB2/Type90

[Dreamk]

The bombsight is a Goertz-Boykow clone - it may be German, Soviet, Dutch, Australian or Japanese. SO the bombsight itself is not really helpful for identifying the bomber or seaplane in the pic. What appears to be bombs release levers in teh center of the photo may give a better clue, as well as the thinly corrugated metal panels used for the bottom of teh cockpit.

[Bankoletti]

So far so good - you lads are correct about the manual bomb release levers and the bombsight.

It's not a Pe-8 tho.

[Bankoletti]

Time for a hint I guess.

Plane in question is one of the major types of its nation.

Guess this!

Lately it seems it's harder to find new questions than answers!

Anyways, have something up the sleeve in case I'm right. It's a C variant of the P-60, equipped with an PW R-2800. Always appeared to me as an American 190 equivalent.

Never knew tho they sent them over to the Soviets as lend-lease (as seems to be the case with the fine specimen in the photo) .

[locopiston]

Yup!
You are On Bankoletti!
you turn!

PD: Photoshop to make it look like loan and lease is free

I'm guessing the whole 24 hour rule in still in place, so ill just join in then.

Here's an interesting bird with a crazy side story.
