The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well I have two sources referring to it as the McCarroll Cadillac Duoplane - where Issodoun comes from I know not.
Cadillac Aircraft Company.

Anyway, close enough, John. Over to you :icon29:

Can no-one help Rob out with his mystery 4-engined pusher ? Where's the Texan Pusher King when you need him, eh ????
 
According to this source, the McCarroll and the Issoudun were both manufactured under the same roof - your pic may very well be the McCarroll with my reference being incorrect. Perhaps they were the same or very similar models manufactured under different names? I'm going to go ahead and admit defeat on this one as the McCarroll photo in Aerofiles matches your bird

The following data is from Aerofiles:

H-23 1930 = ChwMAm; two 90hp Warner Scarab; span: 44'0". [487M] c/n 1.

Duoplane, Voyaguer 1929 = 4pChwMAm; two 100hp Kinner; span: 46'0" length: 32'0" load: 1025#. POP: 1, reportedly repowered with 165hp Wright R-540 and modified with 48'0" wing [X595E].

Back to you Lefty :)
 
Hmmm, I appear to have shot myself in the foot here and given this away - the Issoudun was superficially similar but on closer inspection is an entirely different aircraft. I think amphibians were all the rage in the 30's.

So, over to you in any case - I am off to lay my weary head down after a strenuous day celebrating the sunshine with gin-and-tonics in the garden........
 
Thought this was going to be easy - looks European, late 20's, not a Brit, but there it stops !

Has a German feel to it.... ?
 
Is it just me, or does that prop not seem to have very much meat to it at the hub? Almost appears to be a flat piece of metal which has been bent to form an airscrew.
 
I can't see the screen with all these white flags waving in my face.......

She's none other than the Wielemans SW.2 (a product of Belgium).
 
Well you just hit us with the Wielemans....you can't win 'em all, dear boy !

Who's this old dame on skis ??
