That's the Davidson Gyropter powered by steam engines but probably never left the ground. :pop4:

Edit: Found a contemporary newspaper article about this monstrosity. :engel016:
 
Help please, Savoia Marchetti S62?

Fumbling thru russian sites Yesterday I came across this lovely floatplane named "Mitrofan Korovkin" (1894-1931 Naval Aviation Academy in Baku).I thought at first it might have been soviet built but she doesn't quite tally with any pics of the kind in my possession. On the other hand she has a very very strong resemblance with the Savoia Marchetti S62 (1926)...how an italian floatplane ended up in Russia is unknown to me....anyway I'm asking whether somebody of you folks could substantiate my ID for which I thank you in advance….
Cheers
Carlo

I guess, my proposal of the Davidson Gyropter is good enough to go on with the next mystery. :engel016:

Here we go with a floater.

Mike, I think you are winding me up as usual, and are fully aware that Laphroaig, with its dominant medicinal -tasting phenols, is quite undrinkable for those of us Scots who care about whisky.

It is produced largely for Americans....give me a Speyside any time.:very_drunk:
 
Hang on in there, E.A. , it is worth it - we have all learned a lot over the years from this forum. You would think by now we would have run out of flying mysteries (and quite a few have been recycled) but they keep turning up !

I'll send you a PM.
 
Our little sport biplane was built in 1929. Not bad for the depression era USA. Kind of off the beaten path as far as location though.
