The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Just heading for another sunny breakfast in Madeira - found this one in 2 minutes thanks to Robert's hints!
 
It is the CR-3, Uli :icon29:

According to my source it had an impressive record with all races won where it took part, however, it crashed before the Nationals.
 
Thanks PM.

Hi Green
this is clearly a US Aircraft with contrarotating props….what about a Boeing XF8B1? however considering that very little is to be seen of the Aircraft it could very well be one of those North American contraptions used a racers….
Cheers

"Tests at Boeing Field were marred by an accident in which a test pilot accidentally retracted his landing gear on final approach. Investigation later found this to have been caused by a faulty micro switch. This occurred just as first shift was ending, and as many workers watched from the Plant 2 steps, the XF8B-1 bellied onto the concrete."

:encouragement:
