The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Henschel Hs 128 methinks.

[sandar]

Methinks you might be right, Moses. I got fixated thinking it was Soviet, too late started looking German and found out its identity.

Ol' Mose done git it again......

Transylvania Here I Come.......

[Moses03]

Thanks. This one is not from Eastern Europe! Bit stylish for its day.

[lefty]

1920-ish, American - haven't the faintest idea ! Like the spinner, though.

Anyway, Moses' floater is a Heinkel He57 (Baked Bean Special).

[Moses03]

I don't have much at all on the de Marcay. That enclosed cabin was removeable though.

for Lefty on the Heinkel.

I think AviaFrance may be right in calling the French job the de Marçay T4, although there is no pic, the description fits.

The deM 2 was a fairly conventional fighter very similar to a SPAD but with a much-shortened lower wing. Here it is
