Well, this is the XB-39, essentially a B-29 fitted with Allison V-3420 liquid-cooled engines.
But I must confess that nickname helped a lot...

Absolutely correct Oscarito, congratulations!
Your turn.

Best regards - Mike

[Oscarito]

Here...

[SAS~Storebror]

Looks like a quite formidable engine in the nose, but I've got no clue what plane that might be.
I could say it's an early draft for the F-35 but I'm scared of being slapped around then...

Best regards - Mike

Indeed, I forgot to delete the name of the plane from pic, so that I hope no one try to "Inspect Element". Sorry, and Fair Play, please...

I'm taking a total shot in the dark here, but is it a Jacuzzi 7? I'm not sure if I'm correct or not. I vaguely remember seeing this aircraft while I was doing searches for a new bathtub. I don't know the full history, but there were some brothers (7 or 9, not sure) they built (I think) 2 planes. Both crashed after a while and they turned to designing "whirlpools", which I think is another name for awesome bathtub.

Indeed, Jacuzzi J-7 Rio.

[Oscarito]

You're right! This remarkable plane was the first monoplane with enclosed cockpit and cabin built in USA. Giocondo Jacuzzi, one of the seven brothers from "Jacuzzi Bros." of Berkeley California was killed when the plane had a wing failure. It was powered by 200 hp Hall-Scott engine, and could carry seven people (including pilot).

Your turn.

[sniperton]

You mean, it's P51's turn, I was still downloading the images when he made his correct guess 

[Oscarito]

Oh Yes, of course! Thank you Sniperton, and proceed P-51... 

[P51vsFw190]

Can you give me one moment? I'm trying to make a decision.

[P51vsFw190]

ALL RIGHT! I HAVE MADE MY DECISION!

 



GOOD LUCK!
