• 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.

...which might be the original Douglas Sinbad? But if Mo' can't get this, then :help: (thought there was a smily waving a white flag, but maybe that's on another website).
 
Was convinced it was from the USA. Had a cursory look through a few Germans early on but that was it.

Let's go with this four engined push-pull biplane. From a well known manufacturer.
 
Looks similar, Willy, but the Bee wasn't quite so stubby and had longer wings.
This one is not a Brit.
 
Well, a couple of stabs there, and an ominous silence from the Panhandle - this is a bit of a stinker. I can tell you, if it helps, that it was a racer developed from this fighter...
 
I don't detect any signs of inspiration from the usual fireside crew - not even our resident East European activist.

For that is where this one hails from. All revealed tomorrow.... :d
 
Had a feeling that was the case. I have one more source to check when I get home from work this evening...



Edit: Just spotted your racer. Aero A.18B. Would not have found it without the last clue!
 
I think this is a Globe BTC-1 - haven't seen it in this exciting paint job before.

Been digging around - this is actually when it was still the Bennett BTC-1 - interesting site about it.
