The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Found this listing:

"Judson-Kanter F Boat
N-ABCZ Continental Motors"

Whether it's the Air Yacht or F Boat, it must be a Kanter-Judson/Judson-Kanter creation with possibly a Curtiss inline engine.

That's all I have on that. Would be curious to see what Mr. Johnson has to say about it.

on the Wielemann. Over to you Mike.

[lefty]

Well here's a slightly beefier floater, which was definitely not made by either Judson, Kanter or indeed Curtiss !

[Hurricane91]

Brothers?

[Hurricane91]

Hmm, Loening type hull, maybe two Hiso V-8 engines, Lamblin radiators. With three engines it looks very powerful for it's size.
Not Shorts. Could be French or Italian.
...or maybe it is Irish. I don't know Lefty.

It is interesting that the aircraft in the inset photo has Warren truss interplane struts.

[Moses03]

Working up a sweat on this one. Thought it was a Brit initially but not sure now. Still digging...

[lefty]

Funny nobody suggested it's American.

Which is good. Because it isn't. Not a Brit though........

The outer engines are indeed Hispanos - but the centre one ??

Here she is again

[lefty]

And an (unsuccessful) amphibious version..

Well-known maker.

[fasm]

The center one is a Lorraine 450CV no?
I'm sure I know this one but couldn't find it. I thought it was french at first...

[lefty]

The centre engine is a 9-cylinder Salmson 250 cv.

You fellows are circling all around this one...... time to beard the lion.

[Moses03]

This one has fallen through the cracks. White flag goes up.

[lefty]

Bit of a clue in the last post - 'beard the lion'

Lion = leo = LeO = Lioré et Olivier H-6 from 1919

OH, please.

Board's been open since this morning, so I offer this:

[Moses03]

Albert A-11S. The French seemed to have a lot of ambulance planes.

[lefty]

he French seemed to have a lot of ambulance planes.

Well, a lot of them did cut themselves shaving......
