SOH-CM-2023
D'you know, I've never been able to stand the stuff. Really nasty chemical flavour. A bit like Southern Comfort without the kick.....

before you drink too much, gentlemen, may I redirect your attention to the acutal birdy which, just by chance, hatched in Texas

Uli, has it suffered an unfortunate taxiing accident or are the wings intentionally that short ? Also, looks like a VW motor ?

I thought "Texas" and the wing span would suffice

Anatra DE Chris. Early Russian bomber.
BTW- I found a photo of the Y-2 in a folder I had. We really need Walter to pick off these types!

Here is a biplane ahead of it's time.

A little more on the Anatra DE
This three-engined, four-seat aeroplane was to be used as a bomber with a maximum estimated bomb load of up to 400 kg (882 lbs). It was basically an Anade of larger dimensions, with the main 140 hp Saimson engine mounted in the fuselage nose. Two 80 hp Le Rhone rotary engines with pusher propellers were installed in nacelles between the wings. The engine nacelles had air gunner positions in their fiont section. Installation of a third machine gun for defending the rear was arranged in the fuselage. Thus, three gunners provided an almost all-round defense of the aeroplane.
It was planned that the Anatra DE would fly to the target using three engines, and return (with lesser load) using only the Salmson engine.
During the first test flight on 23 June 1916 the aeroplane crashed on landing The rear of the fuselage, tail unit, and pusher propellers were damaged. It was found that the Anatra DE needed considerable modifications, which were not carried out, and the aircraft was not restored.

I think the latest mystery is the Zodiac biplane from 1911

It is the non-designated Zodiac.

Is it a Koolhoven F.K.41?

Yes, Mike, it is the prototype of the Koolhoven FK.41 with a radial engine.

Thank you, Robert. Here's a remarkably unsuccessful biplane that had a short production run. Ultimately, they couldn't even give them away!
