+Gunrunner 314 Posted September 7, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gunrunner 314 Posted September 10, 2012 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...

+Gepard 11,308 Posted September 18, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gunrunner 314 Posted September 29, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gunrunner 314 Posted September 29, 2012 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 ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
