Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike.
Up next-
Hard to pin this one down, Kevin, but would the single star be a reference to your home state, by any chance ?
It reminds me of a Nieuport, possibly the 28 ...... unless, of course, this is a curve ball and it's a Garland-Lincoln LF-1!
Bit of a curve ball. It is a Nieuport 28 sitting in front of the Rogers Aircraft building in Los Angeles. They imported a couple over for company use.

Back to pomme homme!
Thank you, Kevin. Evidently I was thinking too laterally with the Garland-Lincoln LF-1!
Here's one that we've had before, way back, but not in this form.
Apparently the Albert TE-1 "cabine"

Exactly, Uli - although to please Mike, Pascal Brugier also has it as the Albert A.100 and A.120 F-AJFV!
I could add Albert R.100
On with something from Wout's terrain (he mentioned it in one of his replies, but I couldn't find it in this thread)

Think that's the Sorrell/Thunderbird Hyperbipe, Uli ?
According to it's characteristic shapes you must be right, Mike

Yes it seemed familiar somehow - unlike this one - a newbie here, I believe -
European....
If I told you that this machine had two possible designations, an inspired guess may tell you its provenance...engine by Wout.
I think this is the Gaucher Ga-620 Gaucho from
It seems that this type is not included in the tomes by Pierre Gaillard...
Ah, but it is - listed as the Centre-Aviation GA-620 Gaucho (p.231, 'Les Avions Français de 1944 à 1964').Originally Posted by fabulousfour
Yes , Robert, also known as the Centre Gaucho !
Pierre Gaillard ? Pascal Brugier ? I am not familiar with these worthy gentlemen..
Mike, Pierre Gaillard is the author of the book "Les Avions Francais de 1944 à 1964" cited by the other Mike and several similar editions.
Must have missed it there.
Floater time.
.... as well as the companion volume 'Les Avions Français de 1965 à 1990'. As far as I am aware, Pierre Gaillard did not produce a subsequent volume dealing with aircraft constructed in France from 1991 onward.
I don't believe anyone has had the time, commitment or courage to produce a similar volume(s) recording aircraft constructed in France in the years to 1943. Having regard to the enormity and complexity of the task, combined with the probability that much of the relevant documentary material is likely to have been lost in the Fall of France and the subsequent German Occupation, I suspect that it would be practically impossible now to produce anything definitive on the subject.
As to Pascal Brugier, he is the author of 'Registre France', a compilation of brief details of all aircraft registered in France since 1920. Rather like Ian Allan's CAM on steroids!
Caudron C.65, Robert ?
Close, but no cigar, Mike.
But I must confess that the C.65 is very similar to the mystery.
Now, Mike wasn't too far away from the solution.
The mystery flew about a year before the C.65.
OK Robert how about a Finnish Caudron C.60 ??
You have to go further down the numbers, Mike.
My mystery was a one-off.
Give up. I even checked out the prices of Les Avions Caudron, by Hauet. Vol 1 £260, Vol 2 a staggering £860. Silly prices - and not for me !! Please reveal, Robert.
Ok, it is the Caudron C.51 F-AIBL which first flew 1921 and won the Monaco meeting the same year.
Mike, I would suggest that you make a new mystery since you came quite close to the correct answer.
BTW: Thanks to a guy from Argentina (!) my unknown biplane from post 22942 finally has been solved.
It is the Zhuchenko Resava from Yugoslavia registered as UN-PAY and later as YU-PAY.
Some more information about that plane can be found here:

I am wondering how the Resava managed to get onto a French (!) postcard...
