The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Mistery is solved and I can give you some more clues now.

The kite is German and is a one off, it hadn't two but three engines inside the fuselage of the same manufacturer as the plane.

Just one more clue, if this won't help I will solve the mistery this evening.

The company was well known for its cars and engines at that time, later on there was a British car company with the same name.

I was convinced it was German as there are several similar designs with the chain driven props around this time.

Robert's last clue was the clincher I think. Found one reference to the Daimler G.III?

Hmm - this one photo is from the University of Texas archive - along with a few others I found whilst searching - I think you should nip along, Kevin, and find out what goodies lie therein !

**fabulousfour** · May 3rd, 2017, 04:56

The Daimler G.III is it!

Scarcely documented type, but you can find a few pictures in the net.

Over to Kevin.

Would love to see more info on the Daimler. Engine arrangement, 3-view, even a photo of the entire aeroplane. I can't find a thing about it on the interweb.

Going to return the favor with a mystery I have not been able to solve. It is a largish quadruplane of unknown origin. Usually the larger multiwing aircraft can be eventually tracked down but this one remains elusive.

The pilot looks Japanese to me.
However, no picture in the book "Japanese Aircraft 1910-1941"

Looks like this one will remain a mystery.

Going to be out of town for a few days so I'm declaring open board-

I'd rather put my coins on the Borel-Boccaccio 3000

**Dev One** · May 4th, 2017, 10:26

Gx is correct, so sorry BG..
Your next surprise then please Gx

**giruXX** · May 4th, 2017, 11:37

OK, try this

**giruXX** · May 5th, 2017, 07:11

This plane was powered by a 20hp engine. A larger version was announced at the same time but presumably never built.

**giruXX** · May 5th, 2017, 09:33

it's not from France, not even from Europe

**giruXX** · May 5th, 2017, 23:17

No takers? I think it appears twice in aerofiles.

**fabulousfour** · May 6th, 2017, 04:08

I guess this is the Hild-Marshonet Biplane/Sportplane

**giruXX** · May 6th, 2017, 08:06

Thanks, your guess is of course right, Robert

**fabulousfour** · May 6th, 2017, 08:47

Thanks, Uli

How about this cutie?

**fabulousfour** · May 6th, 2017, 23:56

This cutie was built in a small series of about 30 planes, some of which are still airworthy.

This one was the first of its breed and it is NOT from the US.
