An additional info from "The Vintage Airplane", issue August 1974:
When the data at aerofiles are correct, this has to be the "nameless" Invincible two-seater (110 hp Kinner vs. the 100 hp Kinner on the "Invincible 200")
This neat little bird would have deserved more sales.
Waiting for gX's mystery.
I have the same source Robert and agree it is the nameless one.
Then, the credit must go to Robert!

Oh, that wasn't my purpose
I just wanted to clarify some things and not to scrounge a beer - though it is rather warm now in this part of Germany
But your wish is my command.
Here we go, first clue: not from the US.
That could be the uncowled Potez 506 ?

My highest respect, I thought that this mystery would last longer
That'll buy you a fresh beer
For your interest: here is a small video of the Potez.
Thank you Robert,
I hope most of you like magret de canard! Occasionally I find a duck in my bird cage.

Hi giruXX
Yound found the Bestetti EB-4 in your bird cage?
I guess you are retiring now and buy yourself a condo in a nice and sunny (not too warm) country close to an airfield with lots of interesting planes and German beers?
Nice pic here.

Another beer for wout
Does anybody know if this airplane still exists somewhere?

Hi Moses
Sorry I contacted you too late to realize that you offered an EB4. Well a few days ago I made a research on that bird and discovered an old card dated 26-8-44 showing the original thing (of course you realize that the published pic in colour is a modern replica of the real thing). For the sake of completion the original engine was a Taveggia "Moscone" (24/36HP)...finally if you want to see it just click on the imgur code...
Cheers

Great find Carlo !

Hi giruXX
For the next challenge, the aircraft in the middle.
Looks like an Eichmann Aerobat I
Yes I think so too (NX17638).....
Cheers
Carlo
Hi Fab4
An Aerobat by Ellis Vernon Eichman and indeed NX17638 and photographed in I believe, San Antonio, Tx.
Afaik NX17638 was developed from the 1937/1942 Aerobat I (40hp Continental) and built as Aerobat A with 50hp Velie engine around 1945?
She was during the 1980/1990s rebuilt as Aerobat III (Hirth F20) and lost in July 1997, sadly killing the designer. (Google NTSB N18638)
Btw there was also an Aerobat B (Aerobat II?) which is reported as a two-seater with either Menasco or Continental C75.
Below a 1942 photo of NX17638 with the Continental A40 engine.
Fab4, your turn, please!
Thanks, wout
Without that aerobatic plane in the background I wouldn't have solved your mystery so fast.
Here's my new one, hope it will last some seconds longer as my last one
Raab Katzenstein RK25 "Ruhrland"....Thanks, wout

Good guess, Carlo!
That's the bird
Next one please

Thanks very much Fab!
Here goes my next mystery which is going to be a design just for a change.....this craft appeared in northern Europe in the early twenties....
Cheers
Carlo (BG)
no taker for the Nordiska Phoenix biplane??

My offer isn’t an amphibian in the aeronautical sense, but it might go as a tadpole.

That one, Gx, is the Aerauto PL5.C
Still think it odd that that little Swede was so obscure that nobody could be bothered to take a photograph of it......
Hi giruXX
Never seen that picture before. Maybe interesting to see how the u/c of the PL-5C was used as airplane and as "auto". It could be as moved forward/back as required!
See attached photo and sketch.
