Not from Texas or Branson or the USA for that matter. Not any kind of airbrake test...
Hmm, don't know where to start really - it's not one of those machines they slung under an airship ?
Can't imagine what those paddles are for.
(Branson ?)
Branson, Mo is the home of Dolly Parton's music hall/theater.
The added bits were part of a directional stability experiment...
Straw boater - if it's not American , it must be Maurice Chevalier country....
Not France. Bit of a stinker of course being a one-off.
Well, the white flag is becoming a bit tattered through over-use, but I can't pin this brute down.
That strutting arrangement was favoured by Ansaldo, Fiat, Macchi, but this one doesn't look Italian.
Reveal, please, Kevin !
This one is a Barron Delta "Conejo" from Spain.
Next contestant-
Well it's not from Spain. The origin would seem pretty obvious...
Naturellement, mon ami.
C'est un Salmson-Becherau S.B.3, n'est-ce pas ?
Bingo!
Over to Scotland-
Thank you Kevin - getting warm (by our standards) so a beer is welcome !

Zuraw it is - the prototype is still in a museum , I gather. Over to you.
Thanks
and now a funy tiny floater
Hmmm, looks like a balsa-and-tissue job. Even the engine looks like one of my early Frog types.
And there's nothing to show the scale............
It's a small engine, a motorbike brand... so it's rather small

Agreed this one looks French. Thought maybe a Mauboussin or something like that. Not sure.
Kevin, when I said Frog, I was talking about the well-known British manufacturer of model aircraft, engines, etc.
It was not a reference to our distinguished Gallic comrades. Perish the thought....
Your Limey pal, Mike
Ah, rgr that. The good old days of model building.
As far as the floater, I think it is just too light to get a fix on.
A stout for Mooses
It's a Mauboussin I wonder how did you figured out ???
It's a 34 fitted with an ABC motor...
NOt sure but it looks like a monoplace...
These guys are good; they never cease to amaze me.A stout for Mooses

I found a picture of a landplane version:
