The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Thanks Kevin - glad you didn't offer me a brew.

Apologies Mike, I was on my phone when I replied and could not pull up the icons menu. At least you didn't need it.

As you say, Kevin ! Robert is spot-on with the ungainly de Havilland - over to him - (a nice vintage cider...)

Thanks, Mike!
At least the Doncaster monoplane seems to have been an improvement over the De Havilland biplanes like the DH.34.
Maybe the time wasn't ripe for such a "modern" design...

Here is another biplane.

 

[fabulousfour]

From a well known manufacturer.

At least 2 planes of the type were built.

 

[giruXX]

The Glenn Martin 70 Commercial

 

[fabulousfour]

Spot on, Uli, it is the Martin 70 Commercial.

Next mystery, please.

 

[giruXX]

Here comes my offer:

 

[lefty]

Have the photoshop mice been at that tail, Uli, or is that the correct shape ?

 

[giruXX]

I can’t tell. The source is famous for the use of touch-ups. I don’t have seen any other picture of the craft, so far.

 

[giruXX]

From a still (mainly for his engines) well-known manufacturer.

 

[giruXX]

Apart from his sport aircraft he built only radial engines, AFAIK
The company disappeared after WW2. Founder died in 1957.

 

[Baragouin]

Maybe an old Salmson?
Cheers
Carlo

 

[lefty]

Could this be the Kinner Coupe from 1926 ?

 

[giruXX]

No it can't because mine is a two-seater (but you are barking up the right tree!)

 

[Moses03]

That did it.

I kept looking for a 3-seater!

 

[lefty]

Which rather confirms my suspicions about the tail shape !

 

[Moses03]

The photoshop hack made it look European to me. I think that was the plan!

 

[giruXX]

Oh these crazy "photoshoppers" in Aero Digest. A big gulp to Moses03

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Uli.

This oddball has a complete wing, it is just washed out in the dingy photo. (I extracted two thin lines to represent where it is).

 

[pomme homme]

Was it an idea for a pilot's ejector helmet that never quite caught on - due to an inability to overcome the effect of torque on the user's neck?
