I think Kevin didn't remove the US star on the fuselage on purpose so we would look in the wrong direction. It is however a Japanese Tachikawa Ki-74 'Patsy'.
What's interesting is that the people inspecting the aircraft do look somewhat oriental to me.

Yeah, this one obviously was captured. Not sure who the ground crew are.
Over to you-
Here's one I found recently:

Turn back the clock a little with this floater-
Ralf might have an interest in this one. It was designed to attack Zeppelins.
Hmm, them pesky Zeps! Well, to attack those you really need to climb, so even things like One-and-a-Half Strutters were useful. This is obviously a floater, so it won't be going very high in the sky. The RNAS's other technique was to sneak up on the Zeppelins in their sheds. That was done with modified - reliable - Camels launched from ships converted to carriers. This aeroplane isn't any of those and I don't think it was used in the Great War. If it was British you'd think Supermarine, Blackburn or Fairey, but it doesn't have any of their characteristics, especially in the strut department...
So still baffled. Best guess is that it might be British; was, as you say, designed to meet an anti-zep requirement, but modified into a little-used shipborne floater? Can't find it in my British Naval Aircraft book, however!

Yes it was British. It is a Port Victoria P.V.2 from 1916. Another one-off that didn't see production.
Up next, a really ugly jet. Modeled after a baleen whale no doubt.
The Sukhoi Su-15 (the first one). Also known as Type 18 or Samolyet 15.
First flown 1949.
Yeppers. Over to wout.
twin tail boom pusher
Some hints. Made in USA, flown 1949 and two designations known.
I had it nailed down to USA between 1946-1953 but that was as far as I got.
The aircraft is the Trella T-21 (aka the T-106). Registration N450C and built/flown 1949 by brothers Frank & Fred Trella of Detroit, MI. Initially with 85hp Continental C85, later (ca. 1965) with 125hp Lycoming O-290
Single this time.
De Schelde S.12
I trolled quite a bit looking for that Trella. Must have overlooked it.
De Schelde S-12 it is!
Bottle with tequila is on its way. Your turn

Not my era, but Fiat BR-20 or related?
