Country:  | Yep, that was it! How could I have forgotten?! Got that photo of it and cockpit mockup in one of Manfried Griehl's books- 'Bombers of the Luftwaffe' I think it's called. | |

Country: | What a mess! Looks like a mix of US and Japanese types with an airtrainer tail...
I'm going to say it's American though, very possibly Grumman, but maybe Vought, especially as thhe float is wheeled, and the canopy reminds me of a Devastator
What bugs me is that the cockpit/ forward fueslage looks so Japanese..(Except for the cowling) | |

Famous flight footage or from a famous movie? Looks like you photographed your television?! No luck googling E-124 either, but you knew that didn't you?!... | |

Country: | Laurel & Hardy, "The Flying Deuces"? Stunt pilot was a Frank Clarke. (Sometimes it's good to know Chris' preferred kind of movie )
The thread is climbing to a new height. Nice idea.
