Spot on Walter. Good to hear it's in a museum.

[wout]

Max Holste MH20 (mit gestrichenen deutschen Kennzeichen!)

Seems a frivolous thing to be building in 1941 ??

[wout]

Hi Baragouin :salute:
You are correct Sir, the Holste MH-20

Your turn please



I understand it was completed 1939/1940, prior to Germany`s invasion

A little known (at least for me)trainer....

Hi Baragouin :salute:
The first (of 2) prototype) of the Centralne Studium SamolotówCSS-11 from Poland (1948) with the "intermediate" tail. For the initial and final tail, please see hxxp://www.smil.org.pl/ptl/?id=wyklady , surf down to no.30

Of course it is also permitted to visit the other types. Very interesting site!

[lefty]

Moses , they're pulling 'intermediate tails' again'. Time for some new forum rules, methinks........:mixedsmi:

An ag-plane with a (a lot of) difference. Wanted to post this one for a while, but I may violate the forum rules as I donot know for sure whether it was flown. On the other hand, I have NO proof it did NOT fly
To help a bit, it went under 3 names, so they say, and the designer was entered in the Aviation Historical Society of his home State :USA-flag:.

[Moses03]

I have proof it flew. The skies are thick with them...

[lefty]

I do hope that's a legal substance he's loading in there...............

[wout]

Hi Kevin :salute:
Very Nice find. I must agree the swarm of aircraft vaguely resemble the aircraft in my picture.
Is this from an article or from advertisement and what it is called in the article/ad?

[Moses03]

I do hope that's a legal substance he's loading in there...............

It must be, otherwise they would not be spreading it all over Iowa.



This is the Marlman Flying Box of 1955. Walter- I found that artwork in an old Popular Mechanics magazine from the time.


Edit: I'm down with a bit of the flu this weekend. Here is a new one to ponder if I don't make it back in a timely manner. Please press on if you know this large tired flying boat.

[lefty]

A very sad Harbin SH-5.

Unless, of course, this is a special variant with extended dorsal viewing platform........you never know what those Chinese will get up to

[Moses03]

Harbin it is.

[lefty]

Thanks Kevin. Sorry to hear about your flu - I will send you my surefire hot toddy recipe if all else fails......:isadizzy:

Here's a not-very-pretty aeroplane with an even less pretty name -

[wout]

Hi Mike :salute:
Can it be that your beauty is the Aero-Research/De Bruyne DB-2 Snark?

[lefty]

Yes indeed, Walter. Snark she is...

[wout]

how about this small "biplane". I left some possible clues

[Baragouin]

Good afternoon gentlemen (if applicable...)
This is a Starck AS20 of 1942....
Baragouin

[wout]

Hi Baragouin :salute:
As usual absolutely correct.

I will have to make the next ones more difficult!

[Baragouin]

Thanks Wout and above you'll find my next enigma....
Baragouin

[lefty]

How about the Huff-Daland Petrel ?
