The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[giruXX]

Thank you Kevin. Yes, that was a vexing endeavor. I discarded the Bone Golden Eagle I knew from your first post because of the many differences.

Meanwhile I found the answer to an open mystery which I posted here already on November 20th, 2016, 14:12: Here it is again. I think it will be identifiable now with some hints.

Let’s try it: It is a three-seater from 1922

Methinks this is the Rogers-Day 3-seater biplane as shown in "Aviation Week" 10/23/1922

 

[giruXX]

Yes, that's her (possibly the only photo that exists)

Funny name for an airplane, isn't it?

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Uli

Here's my next mystery, wondering how long this will last.

British Vought V.66E Corsair

[fabulousfour]

That's the bird


The single Vought Corsair in British colours.

Over to you.

 

[cthornburg]

shouldn't be too hard.

[Baragouin]

shouldn't be too hard.

That's a Nationale Vliegtuig industrie NVI C-III and has something to do with Joop Carley 1922...
Cheers

[cthornburg]

You have it.

Hi Chtornburg
Here goes my tonight easy offer:

Hey Carlo,

The Czech Aero A.24. Hard to resist the big lumbering bombers of the 1920's.

That's her Moses (you're quite right the large continental bombers of the twenties emanate a hard to resist atmosphere!)
Cheers

[Moses03]

Thanks Carlo.

This was the first design from a company that introduced four new aircraft all in the same year and then went out of business!

 

[pomme homme]

Live fast, die young?

 

[Baragouin]

Hi Moses!
I suspect a US company?
BG (Carlo)

 

[Moses03]

Not sure about the live fast part. More likely a depressed economy.

I suspect a US company?

Yes and from another company that was making couches, chairs and drawers prior to building aeroplanes. (They must get wholesale cost on bulk wood).

 

[fabulousfour]

Seems nearly undestrucible...

 

[Moses03]

Sounds like Mr. Four is circling the wagons. You might want to jump in on this 1929 monoplane soon!

 

[giruXX]

was that name-less machine destroyed in a crash the same year?



I think it should be the Invincible [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]200 1929 = 2pOM; 100hp Kinner B-5. POP: unknown, but [55N] was c/n 103.
two side-by-side seats seem possible despite the single "head-rest fairing"

[Moses03]

It mentioned having a 110hp Kinner so I thought it might be the first one listed

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]1929 = 2pOmwM; 110hp Kinner. Irl Beach. Full cantilever wing. POP: 1, destroyed in a crash in Kentucky after being sold.

Not sure so I'm not going to split hairs. Over to gX.[/FONT]
