Ah, not as hard as I thought it might have been.

Well done Sir! Over to you..

aha, zis trainink has paid off well, no...

name a "flying wing" from Japan, the US, UK, and Germany.
(note: the British and Japanese planes do have slight blips in the cockpit area.)

I will be out of town (and out of reach of a computer) until at least monday night, so I will check answers then and (hopefully) award a winner.

Well I am not really sure I am answering this correctly but I will get things started at least.
Flying Wings:
Japan - KU-2 - Flew between October 1940 and May 1941
USA - V173 - First flew November 23 1942
UK - Manx - First flew June 11 1943
Germany -Horten Ho V - Test flown in 1943 although designed as early as 1937.

Japan and Germany Correct. The other two weren't quite what I was looking for...

British: Designed from 1943 to 1947, three (flying wings) were built under the designation of G.A.L. 56. The fourth of the series, designated G.A.L. 61, more closely approached the all-wing concept in that it was equipped with retractable landing gear and, in the absence of fins and rudders, directional control was achieved by drag rudders.

US: The Curtiss Ascender XP-55, the XFG-l or Curtiss CW-24B

If these aren't the models you are looking for they should be on these pages.

only the american one is still incorrect... was never employed operationally...

The V-173 enjoyed a successful flying life with 131.8 hours flown by Guyton, Richard Burroughs, and U.S. Navy test pilots. During the flight test program, which extended to March 1947, the XFSU-1 fighter prototype was designed and built. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2000-7 radial engines, the V-173 look-alike was designed to fly as fast as 500 mph and also have exceptional handling at low speeds. The aircraft became a victim of the jet age, and never progressed beyond the taxi test phase.

negative. looked more like a wing than a pancake.

Ok how about the Northrop N-1M “Jeep”?
The first flight tests were conducted in July 1940
