Aircraft Identification Challenge No: 163
OK, let's make this one little harder .............. The correct answer will be the name of the aircraft from when the photo was taken ( prior to ww2 ), NOT what it was later called.
Points will be deducted if the most common name is mentioned without the actual first name.
Here is the first piece of the pie .............Good luck!

Have not got a clue, and thats putting it mildly
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
