    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.

  3. #18553
    no direct match means the search must go on

    Meanwhile this one which I hope didn't appear here before

    I have it Robert. It's an Eastern Europe twin.

    Unknown aircraft from the land of Moses

    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.

    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).

    I have some information on Lestere Miller as he was well known in early Dallas aviation exploits but no mention at all about a Scout biplane. Would like to know the source of your photo Chris.

    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"

    Hi Kevin
    That is her!. Though I have NX28646 also seen also reported as N-1 and even as XC-67.

    Surprise us!

  18. #18568
    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.

    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!

  24. #18574
    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.
