Re: Soviet aircraft ID

I agree about the Lockheed source. The cowl is that of a single-row Cyclone, not the two-row engine of the Bloch. I don't know of any other type with such a large structure in front of a single undercarriage leg. The Bloch has a twin-fork, presumably Messier, undercarriage reminiscent of the Halifax.

Perhaps the access panel behind the cowl will provide confirmation?

The camouflage on the aircraft in the background does look more French than Romanian, ditto the roundel. Perhaps identifying that type will help?
