It was on display at the Detroit show in the late 1920's. One version was powered by a Cirrus Hermes. It soldiered on until about 1938.

Not an Overcashier. Time to reveal methinks.
This is the Pheasant Traveler. The second and last design from the Pheasant Aircraft Co before they merged with another company in 1930.
Onward and upward. Maybe this one will be a little easier?
The Bourdon "Kitty Hawk" Model B·2 with a Siemens-Halske engine, perhaps.

Another salvo from the Black Forest.Good show.
I was so blind with the Pheasant Traveler.I have 2 photos of it.
Now back to the plastic age, if you don’t mind. What’s this “flying half-fuselage”?

This maybe a development of the Adelle called the "Farmer" built in Russia by a Mr. Ustinov?
Found a couple of photos but no definitive designation that I could find.
I have it as “Agro-Avia Adel / Orshik” in Janes 2010 and as precursor of the “GiRos-1 Fermer” in Janes 2015. Over to you, Moses03

You are too kind with my ham-fisted handling of the autogyro. Google translate was having some fun I suppose.
Here is a monoplane on display to consider.
This should be the Prikryl-Blecha P.B.1 "Ardea" trainer in Prague 1921

More thunder from the Forest.Over to gX.
I believe Ardea is the name of the design firm and not for the aircraft itself? Not too much out there about it.

I found it in Flugsport 1921:

When I saw the following cuty I had to take some pictures. I hope you like her as well and can identify her.

With my vast knowledge of plastic bouncers (as well as flivvers!) I can tell you this is the Rotortec Cloud Dancer 2.
(OK, there is some aluminium in it ......)
There's a YouTube video of it flying. Noisy wee b*****

Sorry for the delay, chaps - battling with e-mail setup.....
Here's a machine of whose status I am uncertain - its radical designer got one even odder contraption off the gropund, but maybe not this one.
It's out of Wout's comfort zone, but I am certain one of you knows the full story, so please proceed !
This is Marcel Leyat's flying car design from 1928. The wings would detach from the center pod section. I don't think Marcel ever quite figured out if he was designing cars or planes!
Indeed - some of his cars must have been quite spectacular to drive with whacking great aero engines up front... Over to Texas
How about this rather simple but pleasing sport plane?
Hmmm - somebody took a Cub and lowered the wing ?? I wonder why.......
Oh, it must be French then <label for="rb_iconid_37"></label> (but didn't the Indonesians do something along those lines?).
Well, Lefty has deciphered the most obvious clue. It does share some Piper bits...
The only one in Aerofiles which seems to fit is the Nelson N-4 ?
That fits just fine.
Over to the lowlands.

Still can't understand why anyone would want to do it !
Here's something curvy -
