The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

A mighty Bolkhovitinov DB-A. Surprised to see that 14 were built. Note the giant oil coolers(?) on the outboard engines.
 
Thanks Jim.

Here is one taunting the rules a bit. It trundled along and didn't quite get airborne as the engine lacked sufficient power. Note the size of the prop!

That's it Robert. :guinness: Didn't think it would last too long. Limited supply of quadruplanes with a 12' prop!

It had a 50hp Harriman engine. Wonder how much rpm that mustered? :biggrin-new:
 
Thanks, Kevin.
Honestly it wasn't that easy, thought at first it could be the Chase-Gouverneur multiplane but the description (couldn't find a photo) didn't fit.
And then I found mention of the Lund & Dwight with a variable pitch propeller (no photo as well) and gave it a try :very_drunk:

Here we go with a folded floater.

I had it under CCV 13 but couldn't find where I found it that way again.
So I believe you came close if not right on.

Over to you

I think it is the Sopwith, Chris, but I was confused by your comment about 'unique biplane' because there were 24 of them built ? And CCV 13 ? anybody ?

Anyway, we will bash on with something a little later and smaller - from a big manufacturer.....
