    Wow, that was quick.
    glorfindel87 got it right.
    It was the only World War II aircraft with the main wing mounted at the rear of the fuselage and a smaller wing at the front (called canard configuration).

    Yeah, it was really wierd. Like Japan's suicide rocket aircraft that was dropped out of a bomber and steered by a human pilot into a ship. Oh, and I can honestly say i knew the name of the aircraft as soon as I saw it. i just made sure of the J7W1 number.

    Glor, the history buff. In 1935 Hitler owned a cat, Mr shnitzul, she had kittens, what was the 3rd oldest kitten called?

    Lol :p
    Well, if I, Belisarius, the Black Prince, and you all agree on something, I really don't think there can be any further discussion.

    OK, third question.
    3. The name of this gun and the nationality of the soldiers.
    Also from WW2. I'm a WWII buff myself too. :

    Yes, Australia.
    But the gus is not Sten MK II.
    They feed from the side but this gun has distinctive overhead feeding magazine.
