Maybe you old chaps could be quiet and let youngers try this one   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

So: What is this plane ?
All you can see is spinner, wingroots and exhausts but that should be enough   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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

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.

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.
