The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Okay, yes I was having some late April fools fun here. It is a fake based on the Boeing At-15.

Here is the real mystery-
 
You sure that's not a fake too, Kevin ??

That prop is straight off the Lusitania, by the looks of it..........
 
Looks like the 1929 predecessor to the Lockheed/Convair XFV/XFY-1 VTOL projects.

The railway carriage lights used as landing lights are a nice touch!
(making note to find my copy of Spotters' Guide to Croatian Experimental Projects)

Is this some sort of high-altitude machine? Odd-looking cockpit, and that weird airscrew must have a purpose....
 
Caproni Ca.161.

51,362 ft for the first version, 56,047 ft for the Bis version, and 44,429 ft for the Idro (Floatplane) version.
 
Actually, I have the 1999 edition Kevin...

The cockpit shot doesn't surprise me. I'd already guessed that it was a high-altitude test a/c from the prop and first pic cockpit glazing, but what....
Has some fuselage resemblance to both the Tachikawa Ki-17 and the Nakajima E4N landplane but it also seems to have extra wingspan added that required the inner N-struts...

doubt I'll get close with this Texas Terror

edit: Hmm Dutch minds are entering the pressure chamber...
