Let's please get back on track.

Thanks,

I'll repeat my (hopefully non-controversial) question though:

Is this considered a cowl?

OK  lets see if this can help.

Geographically in that area of the world we have- The continent of Europe and close by is the United Kingdom

Now a bit farther North and East what do we have?

Shall I just tell you the answer?

This one was not selected to be hard to find, but was selected by randomly opening a page in one of my "Aircraft of the World" books.

That also contains civilian aircraft, so I continue to randomly open again until I find a Military aircraft that has not already been chosen here.

I think that is a fair way to make a selection.

But -- we have to be able to narrow it down somehow.  Keep the clues coming, and make them more and more specific and (if need be) revealing until someone gets it.  My $0.02 anyway :-)

As I've already said, I'm not great with pre-WWII birds, but I'm trying to learn.

Svenska Aero Jaktfalken

I don't know why that was so difficult

 You are up, Sir
