Second one is a Potez 630.
Third pic doesn't show.

Edited after a bit of googling: the first one is Caproni Vizzola F.5 (link).

yes. but what is the third one

StarOfAfrica2 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 10, 2005, 02:36:25 PM »

Third one (according to the link information leading me to the page you got it from), is a Romanian IAR 80.

Here's a link to Romanian WWII info on the plane.

And I was thinking it was a Ronzoni plane!

You guys know what a Ronzoni plane is, right?

My regards,

Enlighten us, o great Widewing!

Thang, you are getting better

1st plane: Someting Italian I would guess (cowling looks Macchi), but didn't look familiar otherwise

2nd plane: Seen before and known to be French, a bit of Google would be sufficient (for me)

3rd plane: IAR 80 indeed, not hard.

Edit (copied from earlier thread:

Widewing, can you recommend some good aviation books? Most of the books I own are a rag-tag bunch with mostly beautiful pictures and very little content (although I have some jewels as well). I am interested mostly in good in-depth information on LW planes and how the air war was fought over Europe (ETO). I also would like to read more on captured aircraft on both sides.

Here Thang. Try this one. Both links are the same plane, just different views.

Wow. Either I did really good or no one cared lol. I'm guessing the second one. Ah well. Good thing I didnt quit my day job.

StarOfAfrica... it was a hard search, over the Net (well, inside 1000aircraftphotos.com), but, at last, I found it:

Bell YFM-1A Airacuda

and its brother, the Bell XFM-1 Airacuda

Naw, it was just an easy one... Really.

You can read some interesting stuff about the Airacuda (and about the YP-37) on my website, here.
