The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Me too. Very Farman-ish. Don't think it's a Brit - but the tiny wee pic is a bit of a hindrance.

This the Societa Italiana Aviazione (S.I.A.) IS 5 bomber of 1916?

I posted a very similar S.I.A. bomber previously that John spotted. Maybe the same one? Can't seem to find it using the search function though.

It is the S.I.A. bomber, that had a couple of different designations. The one I have seen most often is S.I.A. 14b. Regrets about the photo size, but there don't seem to be too many shots of this one.

Rgr on the S.I.A.

How about this unfortunate fellow?

How about this unfortunate fellow?

Good heavens!!! Did this thing fly?

[Moses03]

Yes it did. Just not very gracefully...

[lefty]

Weird cockpit configuration - wonder why they needed a crew of three anyway ??

The Great Lakes XTBG-1.

[Moses03]

The station in front was for the torpedo guy. Loads of fun.

for Mike.

Sorry for the delay, chaps.

This one's no beauty either.......

[lefty]

Another view of this clumsy fighter/reconnaissance machine. Big manufacturer.

[Moses03]

Looks like a Latecoere or Breguet.

[lefty]

Neither, I'm afraid. Getting close, though......

[Hurricane91]

A bit Farman-ish?

Edit; Excuse me, "Farman-esque". Not beautiful, perhaps sublime.

[lefty]

You can cross Farman off the list.

Quite a big brute, too.......

[Moses03]

This one is new to me. Have a feeling it fell through the cracks at aviafrance!
