• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

An ag-plane with a (a lot of) difference. Wanted to post this one for a while, but I may violate the forum rules as I donot know for sure whether it was flown. On the other hand, I have NO proof it did NOT fly :icon_lol:
To help a bit, it went under 3 names, so they say, and the designer was entered in the Aviation Historical Society of his home State :USA-flag:.
 
I have proof it flew. The skies are thick with them...

Hi Kevin :salute:
Very Nice find. I must agree the swarm of aircraft vaguely resemble the aircraft in my picture.
Is this from an article or from advertisement and what it is called in the article/ad?

It must be, otherwise they would not be spreading it all over Iowa.
:cool:


This is the Marlman Flying Box of 1955. Walter- I found that artwork in an old Popular Mechanics magazine from the time.


Edit: I'm down with a bit of the flu this weekend. Here is a new one to ponder if I don't make it back in a timely manner. Please press on if you know this large tired flying boat.

A very sad Harbin SH-5.

Unless, of course, this is a special variant with extended dorsal viewing platform........you never know what those Chinese will get up to :jump:
 
Thanks Kevin. Sorry to hear about your flu - I will send you my surefire hot toddy recipe if all else fails......:isadizzy:

Here's a not-very-pretty aeroplane with an even less pretty name -
 
Which sounds like Anthony - I thought at first the strutting was a bit Fokkery but can't pin down a model with splayed outer struts and extended ailerons.
 
OK enough of this....she is the Raab-Katzenstein RK9 "Grasmücke"which as you know is a 1927 light aircraft.
As I will be tied up for the next few hours please feel free to carry on.
Cheers
