Interesting thought PH. I like all those HD designs but this one is not French. Those Model A sedans in the background are a clue...

...One of those funny looking Curtiss Cox's?...Originally Posted by Moses03

Not a Curtiss BG. This came from a small designer who is more known for a very oddly shaped tailless pusher design from the early 1930's.
Here is another look.
I was thinking Waterman but this doesn't seem to be the case...yet I've seen it a long time ago but right now I can't place it....Not a Curtiss BG. This came from a small designer who is more known for a very oddly shaped tailless pusher design from the early 1930's.

Another clue, this had a Cirrus engine and the designer seemed to have disappeared by 1933.
I'm going to be out most of the day tomorrow. Will reveal this obscure type so you can move along, it's the Brown SC.
Aerofiles entry:
<center>Brown (Ben Brown)
</center> <small>Benjamin Brown, Lawrence KS.</small> SC 1931 = 2pOswB; 95hp Cirrus Mark III Hi-Drive; span: 50'0" length: 22'10" load: 440#. A radical, high-aspect-ratio design with a 2'0"-chord top wing that was hardly more than an airfoil-shaped box spar with an aluminum leading edge and a fabric trailing edge. In addition, airfoil lifting struts added to the ship's unusual aspect ratio of 25 (standard gliders settle for 20). Reportedly test-flown briefly, but substantive data are lacking. [435V] c/n 1.
Open board please.
An easy one - since it's open house. I'll even leave the caption intact.
Morning chaps - back from darkest Yorkshire !
I'd say Green's red herring, i.e. wrongly-captioned machine, is a Tachikawa Ki-36.
Slap on wrist for the proof-readers - which book is that, G ?
Hello Lefty. The Tachikawa Ki-36 it is mate.
From a book called 'Bombers' by David Wragg.
Over to you...
Thank you - here's a nice floater ! (I thought I'd posted it before but a search reveals nought)
Hi Lefty.
Water tower says USA to me. A light aircraft adapted for floats? I was thinking something like the Spartan Executive or maybe the Fairchild 45?
Coming from the right direction, G, but not a Spartan or Fairchild.....
Not sure of the shape of the nose from the photo - is it like the Harlow or Bellanca? Or is it tapered to the the radial cowling like the illustration top left?
Artistic, G ! it's like this...... Warner motor, this was the only float-equipped version, quite a few of the landplane built but if I show you that it will be a giveaway !
Nice G!
I too thought this might be a Bellanca or a version of the Paramount Sportster but now I think we might have a Aeronca LC.
That'll do, Kevin !Actually it is the one and only Aeronca LCS.
Our next contestant...
Hi Moses.
First thought was something from Cunningham-Hall, but now think that's a load of Buhl. The Buhl CA-5 Airsedan?
And the ball is back in Green's court. Well done!
Thanks Moses.
As they said in the Holy Grail "it's only a model!" - but I thought it was interesting...
Well that's a wee departure from the norm, G.... It is of course the Lalique Baltimore.
Indeed Lefty.
Over to you mate...
One for the pusher fanciers.....
Loving-Wayne WR-2 (N112Y).
Hi Kevin, you beat me!
next time get up somewhat later.
