The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Try this ol' floater...(hope these chaps don't think they are going to get very far.......)

**giruXX** · July 5th, 2017, 05:37

Looks like the Curtiss McCormick flying-boat of 1914 to me.

**lefty** · July 5th, 2017, 06:08

Indeed - the modified F boat for the tractor magnate.. (also known as the Spoonbill - yet another birdie!)

**giruXX** · July 5th, 2017, 07:16

...i.e. an early AG-plane, or perhaps even the first

Here is another wee bird which, to my knowledge, doesn’t carry a bird’s name. But let’s wait and see what lefty our ornithologist will dig out.

**lefty** · July 5th, 2017, 09:35

Hard to see what's going on behind the fuselage pod, but you can see a prop in the shadow ! This is very much not my territory but I reckon it's probably German...

**giruXX** · July 5th, 2017, 10:47

Indeed, there must be a prop (because gliders are not welcome here)

and it's not German

**fabulousfour** · July 5th, 2017, 21:51

It seems to me this is a Spanish design.

Colyaer Martin 3?

gX, do you know by chance what is the aircraft in the background?

**giruXX** · July 5th, 2017, 22:03

Fab4 you are right

I have no information about the partly hidden bird in the background

Another mystery is the "slotted" engine cowling. Something that appears only on this picture in contrast to all others. ?

**lefty** · July 5th, 2017, 22:25

This is the original - looks like someone has done a bit of unsuccessful photoshopping and ended up with an extra prop !

**fabulousfour** · July 5th, 2017, 23:11

Thanks to both of you

Here's my new mystery, shouldn't be too difficult.

Oh, that's mean!

**lefty** · July 6th, 2017, 00:25

Fokker D.XVII with Curtiss Conqueror. Clean machine.
(Gx, my comment was made with the authority of one who has done as much dodgy photoshopping as anybody !

)

**fabulousfour** · July 6th, 2017, 02:14

That's it.

Over to you, Mike.

**lefty** · July 6th, 2017, 03:29

Another little pusher oddball - low-wing floaters always look impossible to me !

***Moses03*** · July 6th, 2017, 04:50

Post-war USA, International Duckling.

**lefty** · July 6th, 2017, 05:45

Yes indeed, , duckie.......

***Moses03*** · July 6th, 2017, 09:13

Don't think we have had this one before.

**fabulousfour** · July 6th, 2017, 11:49

I know it but I'll hold back.

Would love to know the source after solving this mystery

Cheers

***Moses03*** · July 7th, 2017, 03:33

You got it BG.

As for the source, I'm am not sure but I do know it was not from my library.

**giruXX** · July 7th, 2017, 04:28

Oops. Oh well, the CNA got a curtain call.
