Hmm, looks like one of the X-planes, considering that appears to be a mach meter instead of a regular spedometer.

RPM and Man. Pressure guages?

I have no idea what the hell this thing is.

Yeah manifold pressure rules out a jet, but   jets certainly have RPM gauges.  Dunno.  I thought it might be some single seat two engine bomber but I know of none, and that speed gauge is still confusing.  No idea.

Its a prop/jet hybrid.  U.S. was experimenting with them in World War II.  Made quite a few different prototypes.

I don't think the X-1 would need manifold pressure and rpm gauges ;)

GS, don't steal answers.  Or, at least quote your source.

looks like something captured and then had the guage IDs written on the dash and the gunsite removed.
