It's a He-119. Probably the V1, I guess ?

It's a He-119. Probably the V1, I guess ?

That  is Correct!

The Heinkel He 119 was an experimental single-propeller monoplane with two coupled engines, developed in Germany.
A private venture by Heinkel to test radical ideas by the Günter brothers, the He 119 was originally intended to act as an unarmed
reconnaissance bomber capable of eluding all fighters due to its high performance. Only 8 were built, including a seaplane version.

Maybe we'll see this one in Il-2 some day ?  Many thanks for the prize, I'll sure know what to do with it ! 

For now, I got this to challenge our specialists :

[DHumphrey]

It's a SNCASE SE-400. 

It was a prototype French twin-engine coastal patrol floatplane developed during the Second World War. A single example was flown, the project was abandoned in May 1940 owing to the German invasion of France.

Here's one that's a bit different. 

советский самолет экраноплан ВВА-14

Well done stiv_069 !!! 

The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 vertical take-off amphibious aircraft, was a wing-in-ground-effect aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the 1970s. It was designed to be able to take off from the water and fly at high speed over long distances, it was to make true flights at high altitude, but also have the capability of "flying" efficiently just above the sea surface, using aerodynamic ground effect.

The VVA-14 was designed by Italian-born designer Robert Bartini in answer to a perceived requirement to destroy United States Navy Polaris missile submarines.

this should not be difficult)

It's the L.W.F. model V – Tractor 

The L.W.F. Model V Tractor is a single-engine two-seat trainer and reconnaissance biplane aircraft produced by the American manufacturer L.W.F. Engineering Company, (Lowe, Willard, Fowler).

This two-seat training and observation airplane was built as a prototype in 1916, and went into production for the US army a year later. The LWF Model V is a biplane, powered by a V-8 engine. The fuselage is a plywood, cantilever, semi-monocoque construction. The entire hull is covered in fabric, impregnated with several layers of cellulose lacquer. The wings are swept parallel construction; the upper wing has a greater span than the lower. The four independent wings of the wooden biplane are covered with fabric. The entire two-compartment braced system is reinforced with steel wire. The tail surfaces are formed of welded steel tubes and covered in fabric.

The aircraft's flight characteristics were not the best, so it was used in the US army primarily for secondary tasks.

The LWF Model V has special significance for Czech history - it was used by the air force branch of the Czechoslovakian legion in Russia.
