Thanks BIGpanzer - but I still claim that those cocardes under the wing - are Thai!BIGpanzer wrote:It is Peruvian fighter NA-50A (Peru ordered 7 copies, received them in 1939) - probably, the photo was made during the war with Ecuador in 1941 (two NA-50A were lost during that war).
The question was to identify the aircraft - I think Varjag is the winner!

The tail stripes aren't. If you look at the other photos of Peruvian NA-50s that are available on the web, you'll see they all have stiped tails. Thai markings in 1941 I don't think included such paintwork.varjag wrote:Thanks BIGpanzer - but I still claim that those cocardes under the wing - are Thai!BIGpanzer wrote:It is Peruvian fighter NA-50A (Peru ordered 7 copies, received them in 1939) - probably, the photo was made during the war with Ecuador in 1941 (two NA-50A were lost during that war).

Mike it is very late evening in Oz! U are probably right - as geography was never my strong subject....Michael Emrys wrote:Sorry, varjag, this must not be your morning. I just looked in an atlas and every inch of Peru lies south of the equator. Perhaps you are thinking of Ecuador. About a fifth of that country lies north of the equator.

nitey nitey all - and hope to wake up to a NEW EXCITING QUESTION....Varjag

I think it is a NA-68 with Thai emblems.

AFAIK Siam (Thailand) didn't receive NA-68 because those planes were arrested at Hawaii and returned back to USA after Japanese invasion into Thailand 12.1941. Wing markings are indeed Thai, why Brian said no to Varjag I don't now 
- those planes were used by US, Thailand and Peru only.
Peruvian NA-50A had differ tail painting from the photo above, nevertheless:

Actually, AFAIK, nobody used planes designated as NA-68's:BIGpanzer wrote: those planes were used by US, Thailand and Peru only.
Peru used NA-50
Thailand used none
USA used P-64

I just mentioned NA-68 as Thai order and generalized aircraft name
In reality the situation is the following:
NA-50A - 7 fighter-bombers for Peru, delivered in 1938-1939, 2 were lost in 1941 during the war with Ecuador.
NA-68 (NA-50A modification) - 6 fighter-bombers for Thailand, not delivered
P-64 (reequipped NA-68 into training disarmed aircrafts/communication aircraft) - USA, but the aircraft kept Thai painting. In 1943 renamed as RP-64 and removed from active service. One (No 41-19085 is preserving till now in Oskosh, USA)
Total 13 were produced.
PS Let's wait Varjag question

Well, just to fill the vacuum
The easiest question I have
- name this tank, please. Photo was made on the rear of the tank.
Photo is from http://naritafamily.com/Scalemodel/refe ... on_426.jpg
