Farman F.230
Close enough, Uli.
I have it as Farman F.234 shown with a fully cowled Salmson engine during the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932.
By the way, does anybody have an idea about the current aviaquiz at dauntless-soft.com?
Closest I could get until now are Praga E.114, Leduc RL.19, Druine Turbi or DFS 230 but I'm in doubt that it is one of these. Couldn't find a direct match.
no direct match means the search must go on
Meanwhile this one which I hope didn't appear here before

Ah, the Manicatide MR-2!
You got PM, Kevin
Unknown aircraft from the land of Moses
Chris
Well, that could be Texas, Egypt, Jordan, Israel .....
This person who made this is in Aerofiles but not this aircraft. I found info stating he had made 300 aircraft if so he would be more famous. I assume bad info more like 3 aircraft maybe. Also where I found this said it was accepted by US Signal Corp. I've never run across it in that regard.
Chris
Lestere Miller, Dallas TX was the maker. Scout was the only id on the place where I found it.

Quite modern for its time (which for various reasons was a bad time for new designs).
Kevin
I got it out of old "American Airman" magazine July 1960 page 22 caption "is a military scout with OX5 motor, designed and built by Miller. It was accepted by US Signal Corps in 1916"
Chris
Thanks Chris.
Naugle Mercury N-2 Walter?
Hi Kevin
That is her!. Though I have NX28646 also seen also reported as N-1 and even as XC-67.
Surprise us!
Thanks Walter.
I know you are not big on the really old ones but this one caught my fancy recently.
This looks as if some KGB agents were waiting for the delinquent to come to test-fly the craft.

He would have a job finding a cockpit !
The hats are a great clue! This aircraft had a novel feature as the outer wing sections rotated to act as ailerons.
Ah, rotary ailerons from the land where men have snow on their boots. Then it must be the Hendersonski-Glennyski Gadflyski. If not, then Pickeringski-Pearsonski K(G)P Twoski!
Not the Gadflyski or the Twoski Mike. I think those came later.
This one plied it's craft circa 1912.
Can't hold back any longer.
It is the Kasyanenko 3 from Russia.
