Identify this Aircraft

[Gunrunner]

The peculiar wing design and paint scheme are screaming the name at you...

[Slartibartfast]

Told you it was easy... but if I do more it will get harder much much harder...

Let's wait and see if anyone else finds it, too be honest I don't think it's that well known, even though to me it's as iconic as Ader's planes.

[+Fates]

Here's another Stumper.

someone lopped the nose of an S-51?

[Gunrunner]

Well, since there's no other taker for Slarti's bird, it was a Westland Pterodactyl I

 

Fates, maybe a dedicated cartography/artillery spotting plane prototype, mid 30's to early 40's, no idea concerning the country of origin though...

Here's another Stumper.

 

 

Easy, that's the Fugly Glasshouse. You can tell just by LOOKING at it.

[+Fates]

Nice Try.

[+Gepard]

Lets try this:

 

[Atreides]

Arado ?

[+Gepard]

No.

 

Perhaps now:

Focke-Wulf FW 187 Falke (Falcon)

yep his right a damm beatifull brid

[+Gepard]

Correct Focke Wulf 187 Falke

 

Here two pictures of this beauty on flight.

 

 

 

 

Fast and agile as a single seat fighter. Much better than the Me-110.

This bird in big numbers would perhaps have changed the Battle of Brittain.

[+Veltro2k]

Yeah, I've got that book too!

 

 

Nope!

 

Hmm... is it too difficult?

The Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft :D

[+Veltro2k]

heres one

[+JediMaster]

The course of many battles and wars would have been different if all weapons were picked on their own merits and without politics interfering.

[Gunrunner]

That's one ugly toad from that angle... dare I say it's a Kalinin K-11 ? (not 100% sure on the number, but the one with the ridiculous orange/yellow feathers paint scheme)

[fallenphoenix1986]

K-12 :P

Probably wouldnt have guessed without Gunrunners post

 

Craig

[fallenphoenix1986]

Asuming I go that last one I guess its my turn:

 

Have at it lads.

 

Craig

[Gunrunner]

That's weird... I could have sworn it was an italian design (Savoia-Marchetti 9? can't remember which) but I see it sports german markings... Now I'm confused.

[+Gepard]

Me-109Z Zwilling i guess

[Gunrunner]

Nah, the Me-109Z had the other canopy faired (maybe adding a fuel tank, can't remember), here it's absent, and the engine are protruding a lot more than on other Me-109, besides, the canopy is wrong, looks a lot like an Il-2...

 

Some kind of obscure captured russian prototype re-engined with german engines ??

[Toryu]

Savoia-Marchetti S.M.92
