Silhouette challenge
It's about 1950HRS here and I'm responsible for putting up the outside Christmas lights with about an hours light left. I'll check the progress then. If you don't hear from me, you'll know I fell off the ladder and died from a subdural haemorrhage.

Thanks Richard. Your second image from Aerofiles is the much larger twin engine T-9 which Fernic (a Romanian immigrant in the USA) hoped to perform a trans-Atlantic crossing. Things went seriously wrong with the flight testing and so working backwards, he built the smaller T-10 as a test vehicle to refine and improve the T-9 design.
All for nought. I'm not sure if it was Fernic of another test pilot by the name of Dronin but the T-10 stalled and crashed at Curtiss Reynolds Airport in Chicago in front of 40,000 spectators killing the pilot.
The completed T-9...
The original T-9 preliminary design would have made a good challenge!
The new challenge...

G'day Martin.
Couple of clues to help you on the way. The biplane is illustrated and described in the Aerofiles site and James McDonnell was employed by the company involved as chief designer and pilot.
Cheers mate,
Graeme.

Hi LM!!!! At a first guess I'd go for German. However I know that in the UK we produced some oddities like this.... and planned even more...... So, first guess.. German.....
