The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

The Boom-Boom maestro strikes again ! Don't know if it was an ag-plane - from the rear that looks more like an observation lounge !

Anyway, over to Texas - :icon29:

Good spot to have a cup of coffee I guess.

Not exactly booms, but this one has some curious rails running along the top of the fuselage.

Using Chris's lead, did a google search for Huff Daland & a picture appeared labelled AT-1 of 1925. Not the TA-2 methinks.
Cannot really lay claim to recognising it as would not have found it without the lead.
So Open house I think.

Sorry for the delay, this is the Huff-Daland HD-5 of 1921.

Chris gets a cold one for getting close.:very_drunk: Not going to split hairs on it.

Open house then-
 
I'll make the biplane the next challenge...


...but as a side issue, I'm looking for a name for the one on the right. I've no idea what it is other than it appears in a children's book I bought earlier this year, published in 1979, the caption just calls it an "American homebuilt".

Anyone recognise it?
Cheers.

The easy one first - the 'old' machine is the 1968 replica of the 1911 Bellanca G which resides in a museum somewhere in NY state.

As for the other 'easy' one - still working on it - suspect you may have thrown a curve ball here........
 
Thanks Green. Could not find a photo with the same angle as yours so I was not sure about it.

Up next, an unassuming twin.

Gone quiet...hmm. This twin appeared right before WWII and then later resurfaced as a whole new design with different engines and empennage.
 
and indeed it isn't European - made in the late twenties as an aerial taxi, - a one-off.....(if the photo was in colour it would be a dead giveaway :mixed-smiley-010:)
