The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks for the baton. As I said Dan Pub had the answer first. Even though I thought it was a Dinah I didn't chime in. So Dan take it away.

George de Bothezat's
helicopter at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, 1923-1924, indeed.

That was fast. Congratulations and over to you. :icon29:
 
Thanks, I was going to post the Riout 102T Alérion but it's too easy as everybody on here is so good.

Declare open house and pass the baton on.

It's -7C and there's snow on the ground so I need to find a way to keep from freezing up...

As far as I can tell, this has never appeared here, but has been referenced at least twice..

Well that wing planform and those tail surfaces are unmistakeably those of the Westland Wyvern, that looks like an early Eagle engined aircraft. And a quick look at my 4+ Publications book on the Wyvern identifies that as the first prototype, TS371.
