Ah ! A Dornier design - the Zeppelin- Lindau Cs 1

 

[fabulousfour]

Ah, tricky
I was convinced that the barely visible insignia on the wings of the first picture were Turkish.
No wonder that this led to nothing.

Mike, would you mind to tell the source of the first picture?

 

[lefty]

Yes Robert, both pictures (and a couple more) are from 'German Seaplane Fighters of WW1' by Jack Herris. (Aeronaut Books) A fine publication for floater freaks....great photos and 3-views.

Over to the Chameleon

Thanks Jim.

Up next, a sport monoplane.

 

[Moses03]

This was the prototype and looked different from the the others that followed.

 

[lefty]

It's the P.Z.L.19, Kevin.

 

[Moses03]

Polish sausage for everyone! I thought the later panted versions didn't look as spiffy.

Suds for Mike. Better make it a Guinness.

 

[lefty]

Thank you Kevin. I can't remember when I last had a pint of the real stuff !

Here's a grainy horror from further back -

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Not the Texan I'm afraid ....

 

[Moses03]

Vultee V-11-GBT built for Brazil.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

[Moses03]

I liked the triangle shaped fin on the floatplane which made me think of this design with a triangle shaped window.
