That photograph rings bells. My recollection is that it too has appeared here before. But having said that, if I'm right I still can't remember what it is!

Maybe the Thomas-Morse MB-7, Mike?
The photos I found show a few differences

Well, Robert, I have it as the TM22 (or R-5), built for the 1922 Pulitzer race.
The MB-7 was built, I think, for the 1921 race, and was a much chubbier machine, but with similar wing.
Doubtless Kevin will put us right on this matter ! (Aerofiles seems to be totally confused )
Maybe I should stick to French machines - in the meantime, have a beer on me.....

I'm impressed, Mike!
I hadn't believed that this mystery would be solved so fast since most pages in the www about the Heinkel He 46 don't show the biplane prototype(s).
Did you know the He 46a already?
Anyway, enjoy your cerveja

Well, the one book I have that covers some of the TM lineage does not seem to add anything helpful here.

OK thanks anyway, Kevin. Robert, as soon as I saw your pic I said 'Heinkel' ! St John Turner's book didn't help much, so it was over to vol2 of Nowarra's Die Deutsche Luftrüstung 1933-45. I suspect that's where you got the photo ?
Here's a chopper. This one can do 500 kilos of cabbages in 30 seconds.........

I see, Mike, didn't know that the He 46a was included in Nowarra's book, a look might have helped. 
"My" photo is from a short-lived magazine from the 1970ies called "Luftfahrt-Geschichte" which ended up after 5 or 6 issues I think. Each issue described a few German types in detail and there are several more photos of the He 46 prototype included, also from the second prototype He 46b which differs slightly from the "a" but was still a biplane.
Anyone interested in more photos of the He 46 prototype?

Mike's peculiar helo is the Pescara 3, easily identified by first known inflight beer keg which doubled as ballast...

was the b(V2) prototype still with Bristol Jupiter engine or was there already a SAM22b(Bramo 322B) fitted? and yes a few more pics would be appropriate…

Ok, guys, here we go.
Carlo, according to the article both prototypes hat a Siemens Jupiter engine.
This is a frontal view of the He 46a and the first He 46b with a different rudder.

According to a source I have first with SAM22b was 46c. So I assume previous all had Jupiter.
