You know, with that yellow paint scheme I would have been sorely tempted to change the name of the Adder to "Thunderpeal"... or was that "Thunderpeel". :)

The Bell SBL Airemora was an extemporised scout bomber based on a strengthened P-39 airframe and utilising the well-proven wing of the Douglas SBD.

Caproni Ca.135 RAF Evaluation
by
mtpalmer1
, on Flickr
In the early days of 1938, the RAF purchased a single Caproni Ca.135bis from the Italian government for evaluation. While no follow-up order was placed, the Caproni proved most useful in the role of a target for practice night interceptions and as a testbed for various night camouflage schemes. It is seen here in a variant of Nivo Green (with brown uppers) in the summer of '39.

Thanks. I seem to have utterly misplaced my muse recently but I have managed to get this done. It's a could've been. A Caproni Ca.135 in Japanese service (instead of the Fiat BR.20).

Is interesting how well Typhoon and Ca.135 schemes really do make identification difficult. Specially in flight with things moving.
Good schemes :)

Thanks.
After many false starts, Curtiss-Caproni, a subsidiary of Curtiss-Wright managed to successfully market a Caproni aircraft to the US market. This was the Curtiss-Caproni B-22 Raider. A licensed-built derivative of the Ca.135, it was powered by a pair of P&W R-2000s and featured a revised nose similar to the Lockheed Hudson and a stepped tail to accommodate a ventral gunner.
Although not a major success, the Raider proved to be a useful aircraft for the USAAF's ASW patrol off of the Eastern Seaboard and in the Caribbean as well as in secondary theatres such as Panama.

An airliner conversion was marketed by Curtiss-Wright (Curtiss-Caproni had been absorbed by it's parent company upon declaration of war) post-war but was not taken up.

I really like the Raider. Looks very much a Ventura at first glance. CW had a relationship with Caproni in the 1920s in the Real World (I'm sure you knew EH), but never managed to build anything. Cool idea!

In the 1930s, Airspeed had the rights to license build several Fokker aircraft designs. In the event, there were no takers but what if there were......
