The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you Mike,

here comes another funny number:

 

[Moses03]

Guillemin JG.10 Sir.

 

[giruXX]

and the drink goes to Kevin

 

[Moses03]

Thank you.

Onward with a biplane.

 

[giruXX]

Wow, what a funny bird! Nice find

 

[Moses03]

The designer secured a contract to build this for the Army in 1917. On it's first flight the pilot lost control and crashed. He was unhurt but the prototype was written off.

 

[Moses03]

This one had a novel feature with an adjustable wing. Three builds from this designer and that was that.

 

[giruXX]

I have it as Witteman-Lewis model TT

 

[fabulousfour]

Maybe the Lanzius L.1?

 

[giruXX]

Robert's eyes are younger and better than mine

 

[Moses03]

It is the oddball Lanzius.

Over to Germany.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin.

Here is something more modern, I'd like to know the aircraft on the left.

 

[pomme homme]

I have a sense of déjà vu on looking at that photograph. But probably I'm quite mistaken! But just in case, is Algeria the location of the photograph?

 

[fabulousfour]

Don't know the exact location, Mike, but what I can say for sure is that the picture was taken in Europe.

 

[Moses03]

Looks Comte AC.8ish?

 

[fabulousfour]

Now, a Comte AC.8 should look like a Comte AC.8.

It is the HB-ABU next to the Puss Moss HB-ABA.

Back to Texas again.

 

[Moses03]

Here is one a few years older than the Comte.

 

[lefty]

Toughie, Kevin. Clues very few. I'll plump for American - possible Alexander Eaglerock, as they had no trailing-edge cutouts in upper wings ?

 

[Moses03]

USA it is Mike but not an Alexander. It's younger stablemate went unguessed a couple of years back as well. This one appeared about the time Lindy was becoming a famous aviator.

 

[fabulousfour]

Could this be a Pheasant H-10? On most photos the type has I-struts and not N-struts as shown here.
