Country:  | Great find - I think there are only a handful of photos of the Model 45 (XP-34, XP-34 prototype or predecessor). It seems Wedell was really experimenting with this aircraft, not only for racing but for an Army contract.

Country: | Yeap looks like it is a modified Grumman FF-1 turned into a monoplane. It even has the belly and retracable landing gear. Only difference is the missing lower wing and the the tail is different.

Country: | Well, with a belly like that, if it's not a Grumman then it's a Curtiss.
The nearest I can think of is the Curtiss XF12C-1 which first flew in July 1933 with a Wright R-1510-92 radial. Originally designed as a 2-seat fighter.
It was later re-engined with a Wright SR-1820-80 when tested by the USN in October later that year.
It was redesignated the XS4C-1 in December 1933 when the 2-seat fighter role was dropped, and then redesignated yet again in January 1934 to the XSBC-1 when it became a scout-bomber. It later crashed during a demonstration in June 1934. | |
