The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Here it is again being tested by a noted woman pilot of the time. Also note a bird has been added to the fin along with some minor modifications...

[lefty]

Hmm, 'minor', eh? the wing's about a foot higher, and it appears to have become a 2-seater (at least) !

Getting nowhere yet.......

[Moses03]

Engine was changed as well as there were at least three built and all seemed to be a little different.

The woman aviator set some distance and altitude records in the later and last design from this company which folded up by 1930.

[giruXX]

is it linked to the Bone Golden Eagle ?

Here is a suspicious reference:

"Evelyn Trout’s airplane, the prototype of the Bone Golden Eagle, serial number C-801, was designed by R.O. Bone and Mark Mitchell Campbell. It was a single-place, single-engine strut-braced high-wing monoplane (“parasol”) with fixed landing gear."

[Moses03]

It is the Golden Eagle. Stout for gX!

Aerofiles has it as the C-5 but have not seen that designation anywhere else. Have attached some further reference material if anyone is interested in the story.

[giruXX]

Thank you Kevin. Yes, that was a vexing endeavor. I discarded the Bone Golden Eagle I knew from your first post because of the many differences.

Meanwhile I found the answer to an open mystery which I posted here already on November 20th, 2016, 14:12: Here it is again. I think it will be identifiable now with some hints.

Let’s try it: It is a three-seater from 1922

[fabulousfour]

Methinks this is the Rogers-Day 3-seater biplane as shown in "Aviation Week" 10/23/1922

[giruXX]

Yes, that's her (possibly the only photo that exists)

Funny name for an airplane, isn't it?

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Uli

Here's my next mystery, wondering how long this will last.

[cthornburg]

British Vought V.66E Corsair

Chris

[fabulousfour]

That's the bird


The single Vought Corsair in British colours.

Over to you.

[cthornburg]

shouldn't be too hard.

Chris

[Baragouin]

shouldn't be too hard.

Chris

That's a Nationale Vliegtuig industrie NVI C-III and has something to do with Joop Carley 1922...

[cthornburg]

You have it.

[Baragouin]

Hi Chtornburg
Here goes my tonight easy offer:

Cheers
BG (Carlo)

[Moses03]

Hey Carlo,

The Czech Aero A.24. Hard to resist the big lumbering bombers of the 1920's.

That's her Moses (you're quite right the large continental bombers of the twenties emanate a hard to resist atmosphere!)
Cheers
BG (Carlo)

[Moses03]

Thanks Carlo.

This was the first design from a company that introduced four new aircraft all in the same year and then went out of business!

[pomme homme]

Live fast, die young?

[Baragouin]

Hi Moses!
I suspect a US company?
BG (Carlo)

[Moses03]

Not sure about the live fast part. More likely a depressed economy.

I suspect a US company?

Yes and from another company that was making couches, chairs and drawers prior to building aeroplanes. (They must get wholesale cost on bulk wood).

[fabulousfour]

Seems nearly undestrucible...

[Moses03]

Sounds like Mr. Four is circling the wagons. You might want to jump in on this 1929 monoplane soon!

[giruXX]

was that name-less machine destroyed in a crash the same year?



I think it should be the Invincible 200 1929 = 2pOM; 100hp Kinner B-5. POP: unknown, but [55N] was c/n 103.
two side-by-side seats seem possible despite the single "head-rest fairing"

[Moses03]

It mentioned having a 110hp Kinner so I thought it might be the first one listed

1929 = 2pOmwM; 110hp Kinner. Irl Beach. Full cantilever wing. POP: 1, destroyed in a crash in Kentucky after being sold.

Not sure so I'm not going to split hairs. Over to gX.
