It does have a Sikorsky feel Dan.
This is indeed the sad little Stinson SM-9 amphibian. Well done Lefty!
Curious - Aerofiles has two separate entries for what appears to be the same aircraft - the model A amphibian NX1117 and the SM-9 NX414Y. The markings on your photo look like the former. Needs some more work ! Where did you find that picture ?
In the meantime, here's another twin, contemporaneous but quite different - (oh dear, thumbnails not showing - I fear we have been tampered with again..)

Mike, the Stinson was lifted from this book:

Hmm, looks like the forums have been tweaked again.
Hi Lefty!
Yes this forum seems to be quite moody....anyway your craft seems to be a Blackburn CA15C available in both monoplane and biplane version.....
BG
BG, you're quite correct -
Hi Lefty!BG, you're quite correct -
Things here in Tuscany are weatherwise fine with Sunshine, clear skies and very little wind...on the contrary I understand that Scotland as well as a good part of northern Europe is scourged by a terrible storm.....do take care of yourself and of your belongings my friend....
I was hoping to submit an enigma to day but I can't do that being very busy with my wife's disability....therefore may I ask for an open house?
All the best
BG
Take care of the Mrs BG.
In the meantime, here is a funky little bug...
This one was photographed at a Boston airport in 1930. Another from the obscure one-off department.
The caption for the shot described how the gentleman dearly wanted to be in the photo so he jumped into the frame and started washing down the surfaces.
Not much interest on this one it looks like. You win some you lose some!
This is the Stabilaire A.
Open board please-
Couldn't get anywhere with this one - described in Aerofiles as a 2pOlwM, and O it ain't !
And this horror ain't O either.....

This horror is a Hall Aluminum Monoped of 1935....
Cheers

Yes indeed BG - who said the French had a monopoly on ugly aircraft ?
Thanks Lefty!
This is an easy one....but what about giving me the correct version and name?
Cheers
BG
Well, it looks like a SAAB B-18A with the P&W engines. Not sure what that thing is under the fuselage though. Maybe a radar pod so this would be a PS-18/A variant?
and this variant was called S-18A.
Great job, Moses.

The correct name is indeed SAAB S 18A while "S" is swedish for "spaning" (recce Aircraft). Please see the above!
Cheers
BG
Okay thanks.
This one can be found in about 5 seconds via the google image search but I know no one here will do that.
Early design from a well-known western europe company.
Siemens powered. Company best known for WWII fighter planes...
Thanks for the hints Moses. I'm pretty sure it's an early (prior 1930) Focke-Wulf (its wing looks exactly like the A32) but the exact number escapes me and unfortunately I have no time to look it up now.....
Cheers
BG
Other than Lefty lying low, since there has not been any takers I am going to give BG a dark ale (with just a little too much foam)on the Focke Wulf S.2.

Have at it BG-
Thanks Moses
for your benefit and enjoyment an easy one....
Cheers
BG
It certainly looks like a chocolate powered Dewoitine but I can't find one yet that has the exact look. Any time someone says "this is a easy one" don't believe it.
Chocolate-powered, but this is an 'original' (ho ho) design by M. Alfred Comte - his AC-1.Dewoitine's lawyers are still on the case.........
