Waldo Waterman Flex-Wing or Variable-Wing Monoplane or CLM Special (the same aeroplane seems to have used all three designations)?

Thank you, Chris. It's a rare occurrence when I identify one from your side of the pond!
I don't think that the aeroplane below has been used here before. But fingers crossed .....

Not an avion formule Mignet, Kevin, but you're in the right area. Vis à vis success, this one might be accused of bad timing.

..... but an autoplan. This one definitely wouldn't appeal to topiarists!

Welcome back, Walter. Your absence has caused some concern!
It isn't the LT-51 Microplan - nor any other member of the convoluted family of aeroplanes with which Léon Lacroix and Dr. Barret de Nazaris were involved - although datewise the autoplan illustrated is almost exactly contemporaneous with the pre-war emanation of the LT-51.

And also welcome back, Uli. Robert was getting a tad worried about you too!
Yes, it is M. Louchet's 'Le Pyrale', which was presented to the world on the eve of WWII - and, in consequence, was not heard of thereafter. And for those whose lepidopterological French might not be up to scratch, le pyrale du buis is the box tree moth whose caterpillars can decimate your box hedges - if box blight hasn't already done so!
Over to Germany. Take it away, Uli!

It is indeed the single Romano R-5. 
Quite an attractive design compared to other French aircraft of that era.
Over to Texas
