No, I want this thread to appeal to anyone, not just being the playground for us four or five.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an aircraft. A rare aircraft. Still there are plenty of hints above and you're invited to identify it. Identifying rare aircraft is a fun, and being Sherlock Holmes is an utmost pleasure. Come on, come on, your nieces and grandsons will be proud of you!

[Gatrasz]

Understood ! That's the same reason I decided to search for a plane to throw here. Anyway, solving this thread only require good eyes now, so please, gentlemen... !

SNCAC NC.1070

[Gatrasz]

That's true ; anyway, NC.1070 is the piston engined first prototype, and NC.1071 the Rolls-Royce Nene powered second prototype. Your turn !

This one may be difficult but try your best.

Hall(?) / Agawam(?) Cicada Racer from 1931/1932 photographed in Cleveland. Finding this plane is easy, finding out what the heck is it is not.

[P51vsFw190]

Sniperton, you are correct!

This is the Agawam Cicada. It was built by Hall after he left the Granville Brothers of Gee Bee fame. He left to pursue his own ideas one of which became the Hall Bulldog and the other, the Cicada. His planes never attained the success he wanted and in an odd turn of irony almost always lost out to his former employers aircraft. Looks like the Granvilles were right, stick a big engine in a fat tube and hope for the best.

This aircraft was built and flown less than twenty miles from my home. I am now thinking of buliding an R/C version to pay homage to a forgotten designer.

It’s your turn by the way!

I did a P.11 hack for that one...

[sniperton]

Thanks for background info on the plane. I declare it open round

Nothing hard to guess, but an iconic plane to me and I thought this picture is odd enough to share:
