    A word to the wise, EA. Make things more difficult for us by removing any photographic captions, in whatever language, and all other textual identifying features!

    Hi Mr. Zippy
    The sole Yokosuka R2Y -1 Keiun, first (and only?) flight in May 1945.

    That sure didn't take long! Tough finding aircraft that aren't easy searches! You were on deck, now Europe

    There may have been two of these beauties. Have pics with 2 registrations. The other one (or is it the same with a new registration?) sports a retractable tail gear.

    The 2 aircraft (or is it one?) had entirely different designations.

    The photo shows N70MM which should be the Mike Melfa VCA. However, N70MM was later also assigned to the VCA-3 which resembled somewhat the Aerronca C-2.
    The "other" one with the retractable gear is the XP-52 with registration N88MM. But, this regi is no longer on the FAA site (was it ever?)
    Attached 2 pics clearly sshowing the registrations.
    Please note that I will absolutely not object if someone solves this.

    The empennage is a bit hazy but I think this might be a Farman F.73?

  14. #18989
    It is the Jupiter-engined Farman F.73 F-AHCX!

    Picture is from my collection.

    Over to Texas!

  15. #18990
    Thanks Robert.

    Here is a contemporary of the Farman (more or less).


  16. #18991
    This was the first one as the second version was more refined. It had a 65hp LeBlond.

  17. #18992
    From the Midwest USA. It is in Aerofiles but they got the hp rating wrong on the LeBlond. Initial testing around 1929-30 and registered in 1934.

  18. #18993
    Maybe the White's Sport C-1?

  19. #18994
    Sorry Robert, this is the Macdonald Sportflight A from Detroit.

    Open board then-

    Here's an unusual view of an aeroplane that was constructed in significant numbers .....


  21. #18996
    Looks like a Morane Saulnier MS.472 or maybe the navalized 474.

  22. #18997
    You're too close for me to take issue. It's the M.S.479 Vanneau with the unsuccessful SNECMA 14X engine, which marked the end of the evolutionary road which started with the M.S.406. Over to Germany!

    Thanks, Mike.

    Here is an elegant high-winger.

    Perhaps this aircraft is better known without its enclosed cockpit and with strutted wings...

    Aircraft and engine are from the same stable.

    The European manufacturer is better known for different products nowadays.
