How about this?
Something about that gear doesn't look quite right, Uli - have we photoshopped out a strut or two ???
It appears to have the oleo strut on the port, but not the starboard, side of the undercarriage.
not my fault
somebody else overdid it!

Anyway, a nice bit of grain, and what appears to be a thatched hangar.....Eastern European ?
This craft appeared in 1928 for the amateur builder market (wonder if that existed already). Its name reminds me of a much prettier nowadays model! The “hangar” is its wing tip from the top rear view which the earlier “photoshoper” mounted into the picture.

Tricky one, Uli
Couldn't find it with "parasol" but now I think it is the Crawford A-1.
Dismissed it in my first search as it isn't designated as parasol at aerofiles
I did the same search as you, Robert, but wasn't as persistent! Looks like you cracked it. Curious to know what Uli's 'much prettier nowadays model' is, though ?
Correct in all aspects, Robert! The Crawford A-1 it is!
I hope a fresh ale doesn't come too late
@lefty: never heard of Cindy Crawford?

Cindy Crawford? Never heard of such an aircraft
Here is something older .
Alas, Uli, time catches up with all younger models - Cindy Crawford is 52 now !
Hi Carlo.
I wouldn't say that I prefer US-aircraft, regarding my latest mysteries they even seem to be the minority.
Nevertheless, this mystery is indeed from the US but it has a French engine.
Cheers,
Robert (not Uli )
The biplane was evaluated as a trainer, the cockpit layout was unusual for that time.
From a known but not very big stable.
It is the Dayton-Wright TA-3
Next mystery please
That your artwork Green? If so, you really captured the "unusual" finish.
Thanks Green!
Though I'm not so versed in pictorial arts as Green seems to be may I submit the pic of this nice fighter of the earliest twenties….
Cheers
Carlo
