Looks like one of those Croses Pouplume types?
Not an avion formule Mignet, Kevin, but you're in the right area. Vis à vis success, this one might be accused of bad timing.
..... but an autoplan. This one definitely wouldn't appeal to topiarists!Not an avion formule Mignet .....
Ho pommehomme
A wild guess. The Lacroix-Trussant LT-51 Microplan?
Welcome back, Walter. Your absence has caused some concern!
It isn't the LT-51 Microplan - nor any other member of the convoluted family of aeroplanes with which Léon Lacroix and Dr. Barret de Nazaris were involved - although datewise the autoplan illustrated is almost exactly contemporaneous with the pre-war emanation of the LT-51.
And also welcome back, Uli. Robert was getting a tad worried about you too!
Yes, it is M. Louchet's 'Le Pyrale', which was presented to the world on the eve of WWII - and, in consequence, was not heard of thereafter. And for those whose lepidopterological French might not be up to scratch, le pyrale du buis is the box tree moth whose caterpillars can decimate your box hedges - if box blight hasn't already done so!
Over to Germany. Take it away, Uli!
I thought it might be time for a change (and a copter) and yes, it flew.

Uli, that is the Dechaux Helicop-Jet from
Thanks, Uli.
Floater time again, I don't think this bird has appeared here before.
Pretty sure it's the Romano R-5.

It is indeed the single Romano R-5.
Quite an attractive design compared to other French aircraft of that era.
Over to Texas
Thanks Robert.
A sporty biplane up next. (It has appeared before but as another version/variant). This photo is a new discovery of it in one of it's forms.
Not a WACO. It first showed up in 1927. Unfortunately the company was out of business by 1929 despite an endorsement from a famed aviator.
The airplane gained some national attention when it was spotted in West Virginia at Langin Field...
I think this is the first Moundsville Lone Eagle X570E which was shown to Antony Fokker.
Quite different in its appearance to the Lone Eagle at aerofiles...
You got it Robert!
Wish I knew what engine was installed.
Looks like a Cirrus Hi-Drive ??
It is the Schauss-Lampman Sport.
Found the photo in an advertise in an old issue of "Popular Aviation".
Over to you, Kevin.
Nice find Robert.
Here is a derelict in the weeds.
