• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Time for a hint;
The pilot was well known for aerobatics and exhibition flying. He later founded a famous airplane manufacturing company that bore his name.
 
You are correct Moses,that is not a Hinomaru. The disk contained the pilots personal insignia, which later became his company's logo.
 
Moving along. The light-footed pilot is Gerhard Fieseler beside his Raab-Katzenstein RK 26a "Tigerschwalbe". Fieseler crashed the aircraft in 1929 during a flying display at Kassel.

Open house please.
 
It is a Laird. :guinness: An extra pint for you Lefty, my source had it as a Martin 67.:guinness: My archives are now corrected. Thank you sir.
 
Thank you, sir, have to hold these pints very firmly in this windy weather we're having. (Martin 67 ????)

Here's a wee sleek floater - country of origin really hard to guess.....

Hang on tight Lefty!

As to the Martin 67, when I first saw it I thought it was odd that Martin would build such an airplane.

Anyway, the floater is an Osprey I aka X-28-A, beside a few other names.
 
Well one of the 'other names' might be Pereira, perhaps ?? I have it as the G-2, but you got it anyway......:icon29:
