Nielson & Winther Type AA
Specifications (Credit to aviastar.org for the specifications.):
The Nielsen & Winther Type AA is a WWI-era biplane fighter of Danish origin. The aircraft first flew on January 21st, 1917. While the synchronization gear tests took place on the ground, there is nothing showing that airborne tests with the guns took place. Six of the aircraft were used by the Danish army starting in 1917, but they left service in 1919 because of the Thulin engines being unreliable. The variant to enter service was the single-seat Type Aa. The Type Ab had two prototypes built, and was a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft. The type Ac also had two prototypes built, and was a floatplane version of the aircraft. One of the type Ac aircraft entered civilian service in Norway under the designation "N.1" (https://silo.tips/download/a-s-nielsen-winther). A replica of the aircraft exists in the Danmarks Flyvemuseum in Helsingør, Denmark.

I always like discovering these more rare aircraft, especially from a multitude of different nations!
