The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Right. This one hails from the Prague area, the Stastik Dreadnought No. 1 of 1913.

The next one is a lot less obscure...


Oops on the geographic miscue.

Breda CC.20, and the guy in the white suit is Italo Balbo.

[Moses03]

Ferry swoops in for the quick kill!

[Ferry_vO]

Once I recognised Balbo it was quite easy; simply entered his name in google, went to see the images and found the same photo on page four or five, but with the name of the aircraft not editted out.

Edit: Found this little monoplane:

Woops ! Put it down to old age - no booze on a Monday !

Right then - did I post this one before ???????

[lefty]

I know this is a light aircraft, but sufficiently unusual to merit a mystery entry. It was specifically designed for use in less-than-smooth terrain, as the tyres (tires) will testify.

Dig those crazy flaps too - they are off a machine from a MUCH large manufacturer -there, I've given it away !!

The Lawhorn LA-2 Keebird (N4775C).
The builder saved time by using Boeing (the manufacturer you hinted?) L-15 flaps and also much of the wings.

Spot-on, Wout.

An easy one, an Islander look-a-like. However, it flew BEFORE the Islander did.

a photo would be nice, I guess
