I'd wager big that you are correct. The fact that a P-39 wingtip is visible only adds to the certainty.    ;) What other aircraft used this combination other than the P-63, which used a different Allison? None.

My regards,

I've been told that before.  ;)

One of the many unique visual cues of the P-39 was its wingtips. Have a look at the photo below and note the taper in thickness from the underside to the the top of the tip.

for what widewing posted, thats easy, it is the off road H.D. package option for ford F-250/350 4x4 diesel trucks. It is quite popular in Texas and West Virginia.
