Potez 36/14.
In contrast to the original design, this one used a 95hp Renault 4Pb inline engine and it featured leading-edge slate and wheel brakes.

No Sir, I'd love to have that book but actually I've pulled this from an ancient article written in a 2011's FlyPast magazine.

So... how about this one?

I guess it's the one-seater variant of the Grishin Shturmovik-Tandem (or Ш-МАИ М-87) from the late 1930's.

Absolutely true Sniperton, it's the final version from 1939.

Ah, the telescopic aircraft РК-И (раздвижное крыло-истребитель) by Георгий Иванович Бакшаев.
Here you can see how the wings are "unfolding":

Eh... woot? No.
Nobody has a guess?
So here's a hint: The maiden flight of this plane was in October 1936 and the top speed is 115 km/h.
