The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Your grasp of what we call the 'acrylic' script fills me with awe......:applause:

It is indeed the Praga E.214. My pob runneth over with joy.....:icon29:
 
Only thing acrylic is my head!

Here is a smart VIP transport. This rare photo showed up on the net recently.

Caproni is a good guess but not one. You are in the right area anyways. Pretty obscure but not painfully obscure as I like to say.:eek:
 
BG on top of one of his own. :icon29:

Wish we could see more of these types modeled for FS, but then finding a blueprint would be a small miracle!

Over to Italy-

Thanks Moses, that wasn't so easy!
Just for a change a beautiful Flying wing of the early twenties (if you can read the name on her it wouldn't be that difficult)

Excellent photo BG! I believe we are looking at the Akaflieg Berlin B2 of 1923.

That's it Moses!:icon29:
She's a beauty isn't she? built by Akaflieg Berlin in 1922(?) designated B2 but called "Charlotte". Although built in Germany the man behind it was Prof. Herman Winter from Bulgaria(Херман Винтер)<o:p></o:p>


We are all now anxiously waiting for your item....
Cheers

I'd probably say more "interesting" than a beauty in this particular case.

This is the Polish Stepniewski ITS-8 of 1936 - second version with twin tail layout. Hey, it's a twin boom layout! :cool:
 
Hi Kevin :salute:

If it makes you feel better, to-morrow we may have temps nearing 100. If true, this would be one of the hottest days ever in my country. The good thing, it will only last for one day!

All I have is the designation ITS-8W, but who am I to doubt the twin tail boom expert :icon29:
For my next turn, I`ll have another ttb type.
