    Three known built in the early 1920's and the last design on record from this person.

    I think this is the Wissler WA-9 from Ohio.

    Another biplane, only a little younger than the last one.

    An American biplane with a French engine.

  10. #21535
    According to aerofiles the engine is a Salmson, in the photo there the plane shows a slightly different appearance.

    One of the Woodson Express 2-A or 3-A as it looks like this http://www.aerofiles.com/woodson-2a.jpg

    Somewhat surprised about lack of reactions.
    First aircraft built in949 as .......I and second as .......II in 1954.
    In 1960 efforts were made to revive the project and the modified aircraft no.2 appeared still as .....II, but under different company name.
    The 1960 aircraft may still exist in a museum.

    It's probably American - which takes me out of my comfort zone - but the closest I could find - within my comfort zone - is the M.S.700 Pétrel. But I don't think that is what it is as there is too much that is different between them, such as the engines, the tail, the canopy, the wing tip tanks, the undercarriage, etc.. But one would think that the range of choice cannot be great. There can't have been that many all metal (?) business twins with retractable tricycle undercarriage in 1949.

    I see some resemblance with the Monocoupe Meteor, N5638

    Hi giruXX
    More than a resemblance. She IS the Meteor I.
    When blowing up the photo the registration seems to be N5638N.
    Meteor II was N9700C which later was modified with more powerful engines and a swept tail by Saturn Aircraft and Engineering Co.
    Understand that the Saturn upgrade was supervised by C.Gilbert Taylor (of Taylor Cub fame)

    Your turn, please

    Turkish delight - the THK-10.

  23. #21548
    Take it, Mike. I had it as MKEK-5A.
    but that’s all the same stuff: THK-5 (THK-10), MKEK-5

    Thanks Uli. My Turkish 'bible' has this as one of the three THK-10's built, differing from the earler THK-5 by having square, larger windows. The MKEK-5 was a project to further modernise the THK-5, but according to the book, the project was abandoned.

    Here's another twin - Walter posted it over ten years ago, and I hope he will forgive me for 'borrowing' it again. There seems to be very little information about it, so maybe Uli, Robert or Chris could enlarge ?

    No idea at all at the moment, Mike.
    First thought was about the Britten Sheriff but that one looks completely different.
    Looks European, though?

    Couldn't find it in "Les avions francais"
