The plane looks to me like an OK cropduster. The cockpit is way to close to the prop to be a warbird. JMO

There is a lot of farm land around here and cropdusters, so I say Andy hit it right on.

Your'e right, the P39 would have the engine behind the cockpit with the exhaust stacks behind the greenhouse. It was an odd design as a mid engined fighter. It was not too successful as a fighter but found limited success as a ground attack plane. A lot of them were lend-leased to the Russians as tank busters early in WWII. I believe there are only two left in existance in airworthy condition.

It looks like a time capsule in there! Sure has been a long time since anyone was rummaging around in there due to all the debris on the floor going up to the wheels.
