I'm sure some "Johnny Come Get Some" will pick this off quick, but we'll see.

What aircraft is this?

No no no. Look closer - it's a P-39 with a P-38 and kero burner trying to steal the limelight.

Or is it a P-63? (note 4 blade prop) Maybe a P-39-Q-21 also. Is it me or is it the P-39 is sitting tail low?

I'm thinking Chain Lightning as the engine cowl looks a little long. Might be the perspective but it looks a little long in the tailboom as well. With the crane nearby I seem to remember something about drop testing it to death.
Was this at Wright Pat AAFB.?

"Can't see the forrest for the trees" :D

No info on location. Or the lightning. But besides the big airplane in the middle of the picture..........anyone recognize what that is to the left of the Lightning?
