• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

No, it's an 80hp Continental engine in there, Walter, and it's not a Melberg.

My hint was a musical one (Blue Moon) -it could just as easily be Blue Grass.......
 
Several companies did the same. To name a few: Waco, Fouga, General Aircraft, Chase
Here is a second (equally bad quality) photo

A clue for the night shift in Europe, the people across the pond still wide awake or those Down Under already got up :wavey:

This is not a homebuilt but from a very well known manufacturer. And it has a rather unique feature.
 
This plane appeared in Europe in the mid-twenties of the last century and was intended as a trainer.
Hello fabulousfour!
I've seen this bird but now can't locate her! Let me say that the upper wing has a distinctive profile recalling those of some early Focke-Wulf crafts but I suspect I'm barking the wrong tree (also because FW built comparatively few biplanes)
Cheers
Carlo (BG)!
 
It should be a lot sharper for that purpose. :biggrin-new:

But you are right that the unique feature has to do with the lower wing as clearly can be seen in the following photo.
This is the same type of aircraft except for the suffix!

Considering the decoration around the nose this must have been Erich Hartmann's training plane. :very_drunk:
