You got me stumped. It's 4 engine and probably America, though the Japanese copied a lot of American airliner design elements in the late 30s. The G5N was based on a version of the DC-4. The control columns don't look like anything I've seen before. The tiny window in the middle of the front winscreen is unusual. So is having the pilot's control column as L shaped and the co-pilot's as straight.

Most British 4 engine aircraft only had one pilot, no co-pilot, or only a very rudimentary co-pilot's station.

So you win this round.

Bill

The G8N Rita had a small window in the middle of the front wind screen. I've never seen a picture of the interior though.
