    The gentleman second from the left side of the frame (and to Bud Gillies' right) is "Russian-American aviation pioneer, inventor, and influential advocate of strategic air power" Alexander de Seversky. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_P._de_Seversky This photo was likely taken at the Hicksville Aviation County Club on Long Island.

    Finished just weeks before the company reshuffled its leadership and became Republic Aviation, this was the last Seversky P-35 produced (s/n 36-430), modified with a fully retractable landing gear, lowered & streamlined canopy, and a lengthened fuselage to incorporate an uprated P&W R-1830 with its two-speed supercharger installation in the aft fuselage. Probably scrapped around April 1942 after testing at Wright Field & NACA (Langley) and unsuccessfully competing for a production contract with the XP-38, 39 & 40. However, the USAAC did continue development of its stablemate, the Republic XP-43, which went on to be developed into the famous P-47 Thunderbolt.
