Hmmm.... Does it have a gun?

If we get that, then people couldnt say anything about my slow biplanes ;) :D

does look like an interesting plane though... did it even serve in WW2?

Looks like an early monoplane, around WW1?

It looks like a Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 or W.33, except that the engine is wrong and the gunner's position is different:

Hmmm... Engine, Wings, and seats look a little different, but Shiva might be right, maybe its a japanese modified version?
