The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Apologies Uli, I forgot to check in my hurry. OH then, please.

 

[giruXX]

I didn’t want to spoil your mystery, Mike.
I thought my hint would help somebody else to solve it.

 

[giruXX]

Well, Mike's mystery is the Wallis Red Wing Blackbird and here comes the next

 

[giruXX]

This plane was built from aluminum alloy which is rather unusual for an early sportsplane built by an aero club.

 

[giruXX]

powered by a Walter NZ 60

 

[Moses03]

That helped. DUS III Ptapta from Poland.

 

[Moses03]

Feeling confident so I am going to press on as I won't be available until late tomorrow afternoon.


This one will not win any beauty contest...

 

[giruXX]

DUS III Ptapta is correct

 

[huub vink]

It looks like somebody merged a Taylor Chummy with the nose of a Fiat Cr.32

Cheers,
Huub

 

[Moses03]

Around six built with a variety of engines. One being a Siemens-Halske.

 

[fabulousfour]

Could this be the Eyerly Monoplane from 1929?

The description at aerofiles would fit but I couldn't find a photo of that bird.

 

[Moses03]

It is Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin!
Wondering where you find all those quite sharp pictures of unknown American planes where there seem nothing to be of them in the weird wicked web.

Back to biplanes.

 

[Moses03]

A lot of internet trolls over the years. Whenever I find a cache of rare photos, I save them immediately as most of those sites disappear after a time.

 

[lefty]

Curtiss PW-8, Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Curtiss PW-8, Mike

I hoped that the special undercarriage would mislead you for a moment.

Slàinte

 

[lefty]

Well I started with the tail, which I reckoned was probably Curtiss- but the two-bay wing setup had me stumped for a while....

Anyway, we've had skis, now for something that floats..(don't think this splashy old girl has been here before)

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Tellier T4 from I think ....

 

[lefty]

Yes Jim - as this is French, naturally the designation varies according to where you have sourced it ! The T4, or Tellier 350hp Sunbeam, is the boat in question.
Over to you - I'll smuggle over a lockdown beer.....

Not just a splashy old girl but a cover girl (q.v. https://www.hydroretro.net/etudegh/tellier.pdf)!
