The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well, nobody else biting, Carlo, so I'll venture this is a Nieuport Ni.D 622 C1 of the Marine. Escadrille 3C1. Pleasing design, although a little cluttered.

At last ! Got back in - the site is proving somewhat recalcitrant this morning......
Here's something rather similar - I think it is called a parasol...........

This has to be the unfortunate Rohrbach Rofix with some big wheels for the Rohrbach flying boats in the background.

 

[lefty]

You got it -

Speaking of flying boats, here is a nice floater.

Fokker C.IV-W

[fabulousfour]

Fokker C.IV-W is correct.

 

[cthornburg]

I did a search this one didn't show up so hopefully something new in more ways than one.

Hi Chris
I had this one also lined up as a future challenge.
This twin is the VK-9 by Mr. Vladas Kensgaila from Lithuania.

 

[cthornburg]

That's it.

Thank you Chris
A neat small biplane from a country with true aircraft design history.

Hi Walter

did you talk about Russia (and the Tereshenko 7; "Терещенко-7")?

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
I have her as the Tereshenko-Grigoriev VP from Kiev. No doubt must be the same
Open your filing cabinet and surprise us !

 

[giruXX]

I don’t know if I can surprise you. Let`s try this:

 

[giruXX]

Central Europe 1919 !

Two still-known persons are on the picture: the entrepreneur of the company that built these planes and a very famous pilot

 

[giruXX]

The company started to produce airplanes well before the First World War. Its bird-like products became very famous. The aircraft in the picture was built in seven variants. Soon after the picture, the company was liquidated. Several pictures of the craft are on the web.

 

[lefty]

Well thanks entirely to your clue (was getting nowhere with this one) , decided this is a Rumpler - probably D.1 or a variant of same ? Rumpler designations get a bit complex too...

No idea who the gentlemen are.

 

[giruXX]

Mike. The gentlemen are Edmund Rumpler and Ernst Udet. The craft is Rumpler D I 1589/18 (D-289) at a meeting in Ausgburg on 5th October 1919 where she presumably crashed.

more pictures see: http://www.chmelnice.org/index.php/2012/06/rumpler-8d-1-od-libora-cejky/?lang=en

 

[fabulousfour]

That one was tricky, Uli.

This has to be the Rumpler D.I in its final form.

Because of the sleek appearance I was looking for a racer and since you specified the year as 1919, I dismissed Germany totally.

The funny thing is that at first glance the person in the middle looked like Ernst Udet and the shape of the wings let me think of a German design.
However, I thought that the person on the picture looked to old to be Udet and I dismissed Germany because of the reasons stated above...

Nice one!
