There was also a cabin version of this wee plane, altogether less than a dozen were built. Both versions had a Kinner engine.
The company existed only a few years.

I can't help thinking of a Red Indian ;-)

Sorry for the delay, been a busy morning.
Next up, a diminutive parasol.

If it wasn't for the tail I'd say Mignet HM-8 - or, at least, influenced thereby.

Hey Mike, this is not of French origin.

Hmmm, that gentleman looks decidedly oriental to me....

Not a Pietenpol Chris.
Unsure about the Oriental observation but the designer could have been an immigrant as his name was unusual. Flown in 1927.

It's very like the Heath, but obviously isn't that. How about the Mohme A-1 ?

Not the Mohme but they are neighbors as this one was from across the river in New York. I found reference to a modified Henderson motorcycle engine being used but take that with a grain of salt.

This could be a Heath knock-off as this layout was pretty common for the time period. The original photo I have lists a different inventor/designer. Maybe Mr. Heath could have hired a lawyer but seeing the designer faded into history he didn't make a fuss about it.

I have this as the Krupup Parasol. Built and flown in 1927 around New York. (Also, the Gentleman in the photo might be of American Indian ancestry which is interesting). I have a newspaper source and recall a one sentence mention in a period aviation journal some time ago.
This could very well be a kit built Heath Parasol that was just different enough to have a new designation. That said, I'm not 100% sure about any of it so going open board.

“Caled a heit parasol” … shouldn’t that indeed read: “Heith parasol”??

I wondered about that too gX. The thing is, the other aircraft mentioned in that article, the (Albert) Gaines monoplane checked out. I don't doubt that Mr. Krupup might have built himself a kit Heath.
All in fun.

Okay, seems to be some trepidation here. Let's press on with something less arcane.

Two engines geared to one prop, that should be the Vega Unitwin alias Lockheed Vega Starliner.

The NAF XPN-12 [A-7383], perhaps?

No problem: We do have mountains and valleys to separate land from water (and I live on the hill).
Here is something to escape from the waters
