The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It's a Curtiss F Boat modified in 1913 for the tractor magnate Harold F McCormick.(Also known as the 'Spoonbill') I think Uli in his post signalled that he knew it, so over to him - :icon29:
 
Thank you Mike! Yes I was thinking of the flying Curtiss tractor built for McCormick!


Here is something to entertain you further (I don't think that it will occupy you too much)

Well, Uli, the usual suspects are taking an extended weekend nap, I reckon.

Your aggie is possibly the Weatherly WM-62C ?
 
Good research there, Chris. Designed, of course, by Reginald J Mitchell, of Spitfire fame. Over to you......:applause:
 
The manufacturer's name dates from before WW1.
But by the time this autogyro flew the manufacturer had not relation anymore with pioneering one.
 
The designer's Nº 1 biplane was on here about four years ago. This is his No.2, in sesquiplane form, before the lower mainplanes were extended to full length
