Yes Lefty you are right! Please compare the above pic shown on airwar.ru re the same Aircraft.....the float strut setup looks quite different together with a few minor details....anyway this is the beauty of this hobby: you are liable to find something new and unexpected all the time...
Later in the afternoon I'll submit a new enigma...
Cheers

and here's my today's enigma:
BG
Now where the heck does one start on that......!
Keith
Come on guys, should not be that difficult
It is not a biplane, it does not have a radial engine, so....
Isn't that one of the Fisher-Price people in the cockpit??
Walter's probably right -a monoplane with non-radial motor tends to rule out America, and it looks a bit Germanic to me, but I can't find it.
Moses is lurking, though, and I feel an answer imminent.....
Thought German too but now thinking Eastern Europe somewhere.
...Eastern Europe...you're approaching Moses....

Looks like BG is going to go all 15 rounds. Thankfully page 601 of Polish Aircraft 1893-1939 yielded a clue...this the D.K.D.1 of 1926? Powered by a 30hp Haacke two-cylinder engine that exploded in flight right after take-off!
Well done Moses! It is indeed the Dzialowski DKD-I of 1926 fitted with a very unreliable Haacke engine....with the debris of the DKD-I Dzialowski built one more Aircraft the DKD-III (using same wing and tail) fitted this time with a more reliable Anzani and registered as P-PAWD.
Your turn now Moses and compliments for solving this mystery which wasn't at all easy

For further information on all polish aircrafts see above link but be sure to use translator because it is strictly in polish....
Thanks BG.
Here is a twin boom floater of a certain vintage...
A strange Nieuport from 1913.....this one has always interested me - the booms were made from Bakelite-impregnated cardboard !
Here's another pic....
A direct hit from the floatmaster!
This is an odd one and nice photo as well.
Thanks - the photo is from Ray Sanger's 'Nieuport Aircraft of World War One' (which has a chapter on earlier designs) - the reason this doesn't look like a Nieuport is that it was probably designed by the Astra company around the time of their amalgamation with Nieuport.
Here's a nice neat little twin racer - I've a horrible feeling this has been posted before but can't find it.
Daimler-Klemm L21?

That's the one, Ferry !
The Germans really had a thing for parasol aircraft with the engine(s) mounted on top at that time it seems.. Found several quite similar designs in my files!
A new one:

Looks to be the De Monge Parasol of 1914? (Also found a source that said 1913).

Yep!
The De Monge 1914 Experimental parasol, also known as the 'live wing', an experiment to create an 'automatically stable' aircraft by using flexible and pivoting wings. According to test pilot reports it worked quite well.

Here is a curious little bug...
Nederlandse Automobiel en Vliegtuigindustrie?......Here is a curious little bug...
BG
Say that 3 times with a mouth full of crackers.
Er, no on the NAV. What is that anyways?
Powered by a Renault, this early 1930's quirky biplane came from a designer who put out some oddballs in his time. To muddle it up even more, the designer was born in the Caribbean...
Ah, the centime has dropped ! This is a relative of one of Moses' long-running mysteries, although you wouldn't know it comparing the two. It is the Weymann CTW-130, I believe.
You even left 'C T Weymann' on the tailplane...........
Good work there Mike. Started to think this one might escape the scrutiny.
Mr. Weymann sure was all over the place!
