I think it is the P-36. It flew in combat primarily with the French, British, Finish and Dutch. The US used it only very llimitedly for combat.
Furthermore it was evolved to the P-40, with its recognizable airscoop under the nose.
Too much of a difference between those two.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

My usual answer - the F-5!
During Vietnam a few F-5A were taken on by the USAF and converted into F-5C 'Skoshi Tiger' for combat. It was used, and is still used, by different operators. It formed the basis for the YF-17, and thence, the F-18, which, surely, is a most distinctive shape.
Sorry for the delay,but I had to do soem thinkign to come up with my question for subject matter.
This aircraft was forerunner to arguably one of the most recognizable fighters ever flown. In its original form, it flew combat with good to very good results under the flags of several countries. Although it only flew combat on one occasion under the flag of its parent country.

Boeing F4B/P-12
Stikpusher has it! Over to you.
The Beech T-34A & T-34B Mentor?
WWW.AIR-CRAFT.NET
Nope to the CH53 and SBD
The Air Corps tested the SBD but decided they didn't need a dive bomber, so only a few where transferred from the Navy.
Douglas' SBD/A-24?
This is tough.
How about CH-53A/HH-53B?
Nope.
This aircraft was originally designed for the Navy and the Air Corp so was impressed they ordered some
Was it C-131/R4Y?
Nope
Another clue: Its not a jet.
Just a wild guess. Is it the F-110 Spectre/F4H?
The A-3 was modified to become the B-66. This aircraft just had the navy equipment removed (i.e. tail hook).
Clue: The aircraft was a front line top of the line aircraft for both services.
SteelSnail What about the Skyraider?
What about the Skyraider?
The Skyraider wasn't purchased by the Air Force, they where allocated to the Air Force by the Navy. This aircraft was purchased by the Navy and in a seperate order by the Air Force
A-3 Skywarrior / B-66 Destroyer ?
Would it be the Trojan?
This aircraft was the last Naval aircraft selected by the USAF before the F-4 Phantom. Name the aircraft's designation for the USAF and Navy.

Quite right, over to you!
Rival: Fokker F27
Avro product the 748 (aka HS748 in the Hawker SIddeley nomencalture)
Speaking of Avro: Avro developed an airliner, which was reasonably successful, and popular with the military, to replace the DC-3. Whilst being designed, a rival was launched, and so, the Avro, was designed to be used from shorter and/or rougher airfields. What was the rival? (and, for a bonus, what was the Avro product - hint, it was never produced as an Avro, but a Hawker Siddeley)

Osher,
Correct with ungainly looking & named Sperrin.
The Vulcan was the only good looking aircraft from the V program, but this has to be the ugliest?
The Short Sperrin. It was an insurance policy if the Vickers Valiant failed, which itself was insurance if the Avro Vulcan and HP Victor programmes failed. The Sperrin used standard WWII bomber build technology, the Valiant was a bit more advanced, whilst the Vulcan and Victor pushed out into the distant unknown! In the end, the Valiant proved itself, and became the first member of the V-force, whilst the Vulcan and Victor were developed and deployed.
This aircraft was an insurance policy, wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing & had an unusual engine layout?
Well, technically, you haven't actually said the name, but, yes, the Sopwith 'Pup'! It was said by pilots to be the off-spring of the 11/2 Strutter, hence, it's nickname. Although officially called the Scout, since then, then Sopwith aircraft were animals, like the Camel, Salamander, et al.
