I am working on a vintage-aviation project. I plan to show this film and want to hold a contest for those who can identify the airplanes.
Could you please view this clip and tell me what kind of airplanes they are? I recognize some, but not all.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

There are a couple of Tiger Moths, the corrougated aluminum aircraft is a Junkers 34. The twins on floats are Barkley-Grows as is the twin cockpit shot. There is a Fokker Super-Universal in there, looks like CF-AAM. If so it was restored a few years ago and is now at the Alberta Aviation Museum. It did a tour a few years ago flown by my friend Bob Cameron of Whitehorse. CF-BAU is a Mk IV Norseman, one of only 4 or 5 built, as is BDG. CF-AKI is a Bellanca Pacemaker, the same one flown by Wop May that was used in the capture of the mad trapper of Rat River, Albert Johnson. CF-AWR is a Bellanca Aircruiser. I think it's the one being restored at the museum in the 'Peg. The other single monoplanes on floats and skis are Fairchild 71's.

pigboat,
They are indeed Moths, but not Tigers. Note the upright cylinders and exhaust along the fuselage side..
There is a Fairchild at the begining.
Speedbird 48.

Sorry guys, after I posted that I reaslized they were 60 Moths. As soon as I saw a deH biplane, I went to Tiger Moth default mode. :O

From a quick look around...
The first looks like a Puss Moth.. the gull wing seperates it from a Leopard Moth.
At time 3:27 perhaps a DH 60 Giant Moth
At 2:57 Bellanca Peacemaker
CF-BDO Waco
CF-AMC Junlers 34 there is a Ju 13 which is the passenger version of the 34 freighter that was made.
CF-AKT Fairchild FC 2W2
CF- AM? Fokker Universal
CF AKI Bellanca Peacemaker
CF BAU Noorudyn Norseman
The two streamline silver floatplanes could be Lockheed 12As but I think they are Barkley Grows as Pigboat points out.
