The x.x was a development of the preceeding x.x and x.x designs, but was intended for military use. There were three bays of struts and the pilot and observer were seated back-to-back. The observer had two machine guns in a ring mount. There were two Lamblin radiators attached to the front landing gear struts. The aircraft was designed to be eaily dismantled and reassembled to facilite transport with the wings folding back- wards at the wing center sections. This was intened to assist transporting the aircraft during escadrille movements. There were protected fuel tanks and the armament
was two machine guns. Static testing revealed the aircraft met the requirements specified by the Armee de l’Air. Although the military expressed an interest in the design, it does not appear that any were acquired by the military.

Nice one, Chris - had us all stumped. I've been hors de combat for the best part of the week (house guests!) but will sling in one which will go fairly quickly, methinks......
Cukurs C.3?
Told you it would be a quickie ! Have a cool cider on me, Mike...
Not quite, but close enough for me. This is the D III, in which Jurgis Dobkevicius was killed when it crashed at Kaunas in 1926. If you compare the wings of the D II and the D III, you'll see that they are significantly different. I suspect that you'd be hard pressed to find many other wings of such a high aspect ratio in the 1920s, particularly of a powered aircraft as opposed to a sailplane. But enough of this. Over to you, BG,
Highlighted by the Rising Sun, this is the Aichi AB-5. Looks very Heinkelly.
And here is a record-breaking floater for your consideration -
On the ball, BG -
Louis Demougeot took the world altitude record for hydravions at 9290 metres. Must have been chilly up there.....Bet it's not chilly in Tuscany ?
Ah, something more my speed. This is the Breguet Bre 22.
