The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

It reminds me a little of the Douglas World Cruiser as the front end looks similar.

Wrong service

[lefty]

Enough hints, and we'll get there. This stodgy brute is the Elias EM-1.

 

[cthornburg]

Right on Lefty. Over to you

Chris

 

[lefty]

Thanks Chris. As I said, your last hint, together with the assistance of Mr Larkins, helped a lot !
Sticking with biplanes (sorry Walter...)

By the way, this image has not been photoshopped in any way whatsoever.....

 

[giruXX]

looks to me like one of those four NIEUPORT 29 that went to Japan (designation Ko-4)

 

[lefty]

This one never went anywhere near Japan. Those roundels are not Rising Suns - not sure what they are - they are European, but it isn't a French machine.

El Hispano Barrón de caza from

i.e. with a tortilla hinomaru (or vice versa)​

 

[lefty]

Indeed - a Spaniard in the works - over to you - a nice glass of chilled manzanilla-

(Having difficulty tracking down that insignia - if anyone can provide a better illustration I'd be grateful)

 

[giruXX]

Here is my next offer

 

[Moses03]

Looks German. How about that for deductive reasoning.

 

[Baragouin]

I found some likeness to Albatros designs but nothing quite like that....
Cheers

[giruXX]

It's not German and the plane is named after the country it comes from.
It was built only once (and still exists in a museum!).

 

[lefty]

No deductive reasoning, just a visit to Václav Němeček's Československá Letadla, and there you will find the Bohemia B-5. Powered by a NAG engine. Just like someone I know......

 

[giruXX]

Thanks to Mike
That was my source as well. Enjoy a good Bohemian (Pilsener)

 

[lefty]

Thanks Uli -enjoyed a few nice ales today..

Here's a monoplane for a change. Grainy is the best I can do.....

 

[Moses03]

Named after the pooch, it's the Fulda Windhund.

 

[lefty]

That's the one, and, as all dog owners know, there's nothing worse than a windy hound - - over to Texas

I have it as the RRG - (Rhon Mobel Werke) MM1 Martens Windhund..

 

[pomme homme]

A Greyhound with a Douglas motorcycle engine - in this case a 600cc overhead twin with a 2:1 reduction gear.

 

[Moses03]

As long as we are barking up the right tree!


This one should not slow anyone down.
