Stu (above):
If by the upper left you mean the upper right, directly above the car that looks like it’s on the wrong side of the road, that is a Culver TD2C ‘Cadet’ (Army designation PQ-14). Some were used as trainers and other were used as target drones (the original design intent). The airframe is overall slightly smaller than the P-39 Airacobra with the fuselage that is proportionally a bit stubbier. Also, the shape of the tail is wrong for the P-39.

It also appears that in the upper left between the two roads is a P-39 type airframe. Tricycle landing gear, correct fuselage shape. Anybody else have any thoughts?
