The waterrotaryfishbowl, the Model 15 Tri-Phibian by Monte-Copter?
Hello Wout ! Welcome to the New Look (Hmmmmm.) You are of course right with the Monte-Copter special. I wonder why we never saw lots of these buzzing around ??????
flying fuselage w/o wings (years later called flying body when built by reputed and government backed airframers)
That Sir, is the Horton Wingless prototype (N87698) of 1950. Powered by a 215hp Franklin engine. The prop is in the front obscured from view in this angle.
It is!
Horton, Horten, Schmorten, you won't get a wingy thingy past our Moses !
Well what do you know? We got 4-6 inches of snow today and it is still coming down!
Next up, a twin from the grainy archive-
From a smallish company. They also designed a couple of mailplanes, a sportplane and several for the military.
Note the clean lines for this vintage.

It's the Elias ES-1. Very neat indeed.
Spot on.
OK, a floater....
Maybe someone else can finish this one off.
Dear dear, thought somebody would have lapped up that strong hint..........
Okay, Okay, I'll nibble. Been busy with honey-do's (drywall, plumbing, ughh. The list never ends.)
Our mystery floater would be the VL E.30 Kotka I. It'll bet this nasty will last less than a day with the talent we have in here. Enjoy!!
Has a French feel but probably hails from the land of grainy photography...
