I saw an earlier thread on this.

Lend lease P-40 Warhawk I believe.

Re : Earlier thread.
This photo indicates this craft had a radial engine. P-40 Warhawks were in line water cooled .There is an intake scoop on the top of the round fuselage. P-40’s had an intake scoop on the bottom, Also behind the plane there is what looks like the remnants of a radial engine. It’s too bad the report did not identify what this plane was. But it might be a forerunner of the Thunderbolt. The AAF at the time also had another radial engine pursuit but most were inline water cooled engines hence the fuselage would be oval not round.
