discussion Help with identifying Fighter aircraft

[LloydRey]

Hi All

Hope you are all doing well, need some assistance in solving a mystery of mine, Im trying to identify a fighter that I have a memory of but can not find online no matter where I search, I will try my best to describe it:

WW2 era plane
Large front with exhaust pipes coming out of it - maybe 4 or 6
Smallish body, engine looks overly large for the plane
Somewhere between a Spitfire and Corsair

Anyone got any ideas?

Afraid not, its a childhood memory so not much to go on im afraid

Best I can suggest is start here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_of_World_War_II
and just work through all the listings. Are you sure it’s WW2?

 

[LloydRey]

This was a great idea Tim, thanks, going through them now

Sounds very much like the Japanese J2M Raiden.

P40, Warhawk. That's my guess.

Buffalo as per Langy71 seems to be the closest thing I can recall, thanks all for the help
