The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

You think right, Uli, it is the Fokker B.I with Anthony himself in the middle.

Thank you Robert. Let's try something we both know.

 

[giruXX]

From Berlin, Germany in the first half of the 1930ies.

Revealing: Would be a homebuilt in actual terminology. A scaled-down replica of the Dietrich-Gobiet DP 11a Bussard.

Built by Dipl.-Ing. Helmut Schneider from Schönow near Berlin 1933/34. Her name is Schwalbe (swallow).

Apologies, been diverted of late. My dear Mum took a fall, breaking a wrist and banged herself up pretty good. On the mend now. (She is 92).


How about this spiffy little number?

 

[Moses03]

One-off from 1924. Not European.

 

[fabulousfour]

I think this little bipe is the Phillips Alouette.

 

[Moses03]

Spot on Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin!

Here is another biplane from about the same vintage.

 

[fabulousfour]

This biplane is from a well-known European company.

With a V12 Hispano-Suiza up front?

 

[fabulousfour]

Indeed, Mike!

Would you like to solve the mystery?

 

[pomme homme]

I would, Robert, if I could - but I can't! I wasn't trying to be clever. Whilst my research enabled me to identify the engine, it didn't identify the aeroplane. I suspect that it's French but I'm afraid that I'm not that good on chasseurs of the twenties.

Dewoitine D.15

Now, you are on the right track, Mike.
That mystery plane might be called a step backwards in terms of modern construction since the company had already built monoplane fighters and in fact it seems to be the only biplane from this société.

 

[fabulousfour]

While typing an answer to Mike's post, Chris already hat the solution for the mystery.

It is the Dewoitine D.15.

Over to you, Chris

 

[lefty]

Les Avions Dewoitine doesn't mess about - refers to the D.15 as bâtard de la famille....

 

[cthornburg]

Wife's computer died so she's using mine. Don't get on much.

Here's something I photographed yesterday. It shouldn't be too challenging.

 

[srgalahad]

welll...
it sorta looks like a Fairchild 22C-7 with a Gypsy,
but on second look I'll go with a Menasco
