Taking Terry's idea for an aircraft recce comp (and after discussion) I'd like to start this as a game.

The idea is simple...show a small part of a plane and everyone tries to guess what its from. Once the 'plane is correclty identified, the full picture is posted and then the winner posts a cropped image from their pictures...and so on and so on. This is not the same as the Aircraft Identification thread where the complete 'plane is shown for ID'ing

Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc.

You can ask for clues but dont expect easy ones to be given.

I'll start the ball rolling with this offering.

Its not a Wildcat / Hellcat, allthough it is radial engined

Its not a Grumman.
 
In that case it´s probably a Brewster Buffalo. Once again the many different versions had different tailwheels. This one could be the one of the F2A-3.
 
Its not a Buffalo

It is a monoplane
