Well I know a certain tome in your possession starts at 1930, but even if it were earlier, you wouldn't find this bird in it, because she ain't Italian !
V engines and wings shapes reminds me some french planes but the tails and double ponton just bring perplexity...
Somewhere in germany, baltic or nothern sea perhaps...
Well...
Ah, I see it's definetly french but I don't remind this double ponton.
From the tail some FBA prototypearound 1918...
I found a Levy besson triplan with Hispano engines but couldn't find any pictures. I guess I won't find anything more today...
Halbronn-Tord ! HT2 it's seems on the first picture (with lorraine engine).
Produced by Labourdette a Famous Coachbuilder... jeeez didn't knew this one
The HT1 had 2 200cv Hispano the HT2 had 2 350cv Lorraine. I thought it was the lorraine on the first picture but nothing sure.
It was his first plane he only had 25 years old... and died 2 years after trianing aerobatics. A brillant man.
Well, thanks for the help, I guess I wouldn't have find it otherwise.
Thank you. Now for something more modern - not just a light aircraft, but one evaluated by one air force and given a fixed armament - sadly I cannot track down a pic of this version.
Thurston-Patchen TSC-2 designed by well-known David Thurston.
