New one... | I'm guessing a Curtis of some sort . . . . too small to be a Supermarine.

Country:  | US, you can see the tips of the stars on the upper wing. But a small engine for a race plane. A three cylinder radial should be not that hard to find. Searching.

Happy to accept either name... 
It could also be stowed aboard a submarine. | |

The Cox-Klemin XS (wood) or Martin MS (aluminium). | |

Country:  | I'll post in here, but this isn't really a quiz.
I saw a picture in a "planes of the Luftwaffe" book at a used book store today, of two mechs rearming a plane that had two LMGs on the side of the fuselage, with the lower one placed slightly ahead of the upper one. The canopy opened up over top, but looked quite a bit like a 109E canopy - the one that opens to the side.
There were no engines visible, but I got the impression that it was (at least) a two engine aircraft.
First off, I was thinking Hs 129, but it seemed to me that the engine was too far away from the fuselage, given the angle of the shot.
Could it be an Fw 187? How were the MGs placed in that type?
Edit: Nevermind, I saw the "mistakes in aviation thread", which had pics of the Fw187. It's a perfect match.
