That was an XL-17 "Musang" two place trainer for the Philipine air force.
Clog-ez.

Er, I think you have to give us a chance to answer these - first time I looked at the Musang and the answer's already there !
Better get in quick with this one - Tupolev ANT-22 MK-1
I appologize. I mistook the silence as reaction to another inappropriate post (light aircraft).Originally Posted by lefty
You are right on the boat of course.
No apologies needed. We usually start whingeing if we don't know them. (Happens a lot to me)
Here is something definitely military...please continue when you get it - I am off to wield the curling broom again this evening.....(actually they ain't brooms any more - all high-tech carbon-fibre stuff - don't know what the world's coming to.....)
Yup, I have been out all day with the family and just now logged in to SOH. Usually you will hear it from one of us if a mystery has been sitting too long.

Had to be a Nieuport. Sure enough a Nieuport 15.
Pressing on, what is this early airliner? (The plane is bigger than it looks in this shot).

Looks German, but probably another US one-off ??
A Rufus Porter, Baldwin-Pullman "Cloud Coach".
Yup, it's a USA one-off that had a tragic ending. There is even a book entirely dedicated to the designer and this one airplane. It was ahead of it's time.
Not any of the names Hurricane mentioned however...

If you were to lose the wing struts and the wing taper you'd have yourself a Dornier Komet I, but the actual identity of this one escapes me
It is very much a contemporary of the Komet.

Don't know about tragic end - it certainly looks like it was built by a coffin-maker....
Ran across this the other day....don't think it's been posted here yet.....
[EDIT] Admittedly this thing looks like an RC model, but it's not.
