Ok, let's have a little fun. With the talent at SOH you guys should have no problem naming these aircraft. Here is the first ---Name this aircraft.

XB-19. The pre-war markings made it a little easier, but the properties of the pic, more so.....

Sorry, guess that was cheating of sorts. I just happened to see it when my mouse moved over the picture. But, in all honesty, was going to go through pre-WWII bomber types.

Yes Matt the picture properties make it easy. I will see if I can conceal those in the next picture. Get ready, off to PhotoBucket to post the second picture.

From a design standpoint you'd have to ask 'why?'.

'.......well....it looked OK on paper'.....;)

Beech AT-11 Kansan. In the bag was probably money for the payroll!


I first thought it is a Cessna UC-78 Bamboo Bomber, but it doesn't have a glass nose....

The aircraft appearing on the LIFE magazine cover appears to have a twin tail. I don't see any further evidence of another aircraft behind the one in the forefront due to camera angle. It was possibly an early production model.

I expect you're right...as the second pic shows the same model with a bigger tailplane...a 'prettier' solution than the proto's 'afterthought'...;)

Bugatti 100 racer (1939!!), I have read an article about it a few years ago where some guys wanted to resurrect the design. Great and radical looking aircraft.
[Edit: found it again. The Bugatti 100P racer replica is supposed to fly in mid october this year for the first time!]

Another 1939 prototype. I took a shot of an unusual aircraft in the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum, Paris.
So here's my proposal (an easy one for our french friends, I suppose):

The Leduc 010 ramjet prototype.

I recently read an article about these ones. There were several tested, launched from piggiback arrangements:

Exactly! That was fast.

Here's another shot of the hall with the 010. Amazing design, way ahead if it's time. The other aircraft in the back was even more radical.

Its full name is Vertol VZ-7, their were only a couple of them built while operated by Vertol.
When boeing bought Vertol, they made some modifications and resumed testing.
My friends VZ-7 is 1 of only 2 remaining.
According to Boeing records their was 1 made, Vertol records show 3 made, 2 crashed in testing and suffered heavy structural damage, and were used for parts.

I was impressed when you included that paint in the package so I looked it up then. I must admit I did buy the 190 pack though as I would not fly it much. I do have the excellent 108 though and enjoy it often.

Your research and attention to detail is amazing!

Beat me to it Dimus, and it's a favourite model for me – tricky enough to land/takeoff and heaps of performance. :wiggle: Fun!
