Wmaker, did you scan the picture from paper and put it online? Or is it something actually on the Internet?

I've saved it years ago from a message board that doesn't exist in it's current form. Google didn't find any pic of it when I tried to search with it yesterday.

Ok, I'll give you guys a clue...

Shot in the dark - Belgian?

Nope, but like you said, the tail does look very French, doesn't it? ;)

Judging from the Pic, if it was German, It would have an Iron cross, not a roundel.

Unless it was captured and used as a squadron hack.  The RAF used many German aircraft during the war.

I do suspect it is French from wmaker's hint above tho ;)

One more clue please: Is that picture taken in USA in 1941? (Does not seem logical right now but hold on...)

Ed. Nm, wrong plane. Was thinking if that was the plane P. Clostermann built before going to Britain but thats not the one...
