Assumed it was Eastern European but did not find it because there is no photo in Putnam's Polish volume!
Page 587-588 details the 1924 Gabriel P7. Powered with a " 24 hp Indian two-cylinder upright-vee".

No takers on the open house?
Okay, let's go roading!

I think we are very close to our poster's present abode !
Nobody else biting ? This is the SAC Aerocar, NX59711, from Garland, Texas, around 1946. It flew, too !
Mike, for me it didn't show up on my only reference (wiki) just the other single boom pusher 'Aerocar'. This one though never seen before,well done.
Keith
Sorry for the late reply, yes it is the Aerocar. A pint for the Scotsman.
Nice photo!
No real credit due, Keith. A wee while ago I bought this addition to the library. It is a fascinating insight into the obsession that many people (mostly American ?) seemed to have about getting their cars to fly !
Have to say the idea of flying around in a car attached to a pair of wings with a couple of butterfly nuts gives me the shudders !
Now that reminds me of a modern day reworking of M. Leyat's automotive marvels. One hél[of]ica!
Well, Mike's twin is definately related to the Cessna T-50. I don't have a pic of the Cessna P-10 bombing trainer variant however I believe we may be looking at it here.
John, you've cracked it with the P.10 Not many photos around, I reckon.....
Here's a 4-engine job with a picturesque view out the front
Hey John, I think we are looking at the Ilyushin IL-18 Prototype.

You got it Kevin ....thought that the original nose might throw some off the trail. Almost forgot the lot I'm dealing with here.
Over to Texas for the next round.

Everyone likes a parasol right? Should not cause too much fuss...
It is the F.14 Keith. TWA used it as a freighter for a time. Good show.
Thanks Moses, the tail feathers gives it away as a Dutchmans design!
So still on the parasol theme, possibly an easy one.
Keith
Hmm, don't know what she is, but I'm not taking her up in a high wind.......
Googling 'Parasol' will find her I think!
Keith
Hi Keith
Would this be the Sorrell-Robinson "Cool Crow" homebuilt of the 1960s, a modernized Dormoy Bathtub? (N5087K)
If she is, the Parasol now resides in the Museum Of Flight, Seattle, Wa.
