• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The designer secured a contract to build this for the Army in 1917. On it's first flight the pilot lost control and crashed. He was unhurt but the prototype was written off.
 
This one had a novel feature with an adjustable wing. Three builds from this designer and that was that.
 
I have a sense of déjà vu on looking at that photograph. But probably I'm quite mistaken! But just in case, is Algeria the location of the photograph?
 
Toughie, Kevin. Clues very few. I'll plump for American - possible Alexander Eaglerock, as they had no trailing-edge cutouts in upper wings ?
 
USA it is Mike but not an Alexander. It's younger stablemate went unguessed a couple of years back as well. This one appeared about the time Lindy was becoming a famous aviator.
