#1 - IAR-80. Built and operated by Romania. Played a big role in USAAF losses at Polesti.

#2 - As answered, B-32 Dominator. On 18 August 1945, three days after the Hirohito announced Japan's surrender, B-32s on a photo recon mission were attacked by Japanese fighters in the last aerial combat of WWII.

#3 - Breda Ba.65. Italian in origin. Used in WWII by Italy and Iraq. Included here because ugly airplanes need love too.

#4 - Fokker D.XXI. Built in the Netherlands. Used by the Dutch, Danish, and Finnish air force. Very maneuverable and decimated Luftwaffe Ju-52s attempting to deliver paratroopers at the start of the German invasion.

#5 - Koolhoven FK-58. Designed by France and used by escaped Polish pilots flying for the French AF.


Thanks for the info.
