Maybe you old chaps could be quiet and let youngers try this one  

So: What is this plane ?
All you can see is spinner, wingroots and exhausts but that should be enough

Dornier Do-335?  Notice the exhaust stacks pointing the "wrong" way.  Sub-fin is also visible below fuselage.

Almost looks like Spitfire.. but theres couple funny things still.

It is surely a rear prop pusher. Look at the prop angle and trailing edge. The exhuast stacks also point to the prop.

The Japanese were working on a pusher, the Shinden.

Or the D0-335 as MarkVZ said.

Wish I knew. I don't have much for referance books.

Shinden had 6 blades.  Can't be that.

I don't know what it is.

Umm.. what was that japanese fighter with engine in the rear?

[GRUNHERZ]

This is a SAAB J21 pusher fighter from the mid/late 1940s. It was also called the A21 when used as a ground attack plane.

Grunhertz got it right: Saab J21
