The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I found this NACA period report on the Breguet 410 but couldn't find anything about structure above cockpit.

Thank you, Robert, also thanks Chris, to whom I must offer an apology - I have found the answer under my nose, in the relevant Jane's entry -
'A small aerofoil surface is mounted above the leading-edge surface of the top wing, behind the pilot's cockpit, to correct the flow of air disturbed by the cockpit opening.' (the notion of French designers of the period being concerned about airflow is somewhat hilarious....)
but thank you anyway for posting that splendid document - it never ceases to amaze me what is out there......

Back, inevitably, to the water -

Berliner-Joyce OJ-2

I moved Richard's mystery to it's own thread to avoid any confusion.

Mystery plane is in Aerofiles but not this picture.

Beco-Brown L-5, or B-5 perhaps?

 

[cthornburg]

That's it. trails with Butane as fuel as in "Butane Lighter"

[giruXX]

OK, what do we have here?

 

[fabulousfour]

Probably a Martin bomber with a fish bowl.

Could that be the Martin 166, Uli?

 

[giruXX]

Spot on Robert!

It's a Martin 166 (WH-3) of the Dutch Luchtvaart Afdeling in Dutch East India during the war.

 

[fabulousfour]

Let's go back to biplanes.

 

[lefty]

I think that could be an Avia BH-21 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

That definitely IS an Avia BH.21!

Slàinte!

Hey Carlo ! You are on the ball with the Spanish lady....

I see they have had snow in Rome - what's happening in Tuscany ?

Thanks Lefty well fortunately no snow at all in the major tuscan cities Florence, Siena, Arezzo etc although all surrounding Hills are blanketed with snow however it is bitterly cold....in the early morning today.... it was minus 10!
I'll submit a new mystery in the afternoon however if somebody wants to step in he is more than welcome.
By the way Lefty looking at your #16762 shouldn't she be a Berliner Joyce XOJ-1 with ZAP flaps?

Cheers
Carlo
