#1 shot sure doesn't look like any WWII fighter I know.
The B-25 isn't a fighter, and that F-86 sure isn't WWII vintage.

I agree, but the third picture shows a blue nosesection of what looks like a
single seater, but most likely is something like a Harvard/Texan which can
be mistaken for a fighter.

Shot #3 looks to be a cockpit shot of the B-25. However, shot #5
appears to be not so much an AT-6 but an F4U Corsair, and that would
certainly qualify it as a WWII fighter. One some industrious group of
individuals should consider restoring.

A Corsair was my first thought too, it is fairly long, but it is to narrow
for a cCorsair and the nose ring doesn't look right to me either.
