No. It's not German - just an impersonator.
It's a screenshot from a movie - about to come outta that door is actor James Mason.

"The Desert Rats"? Mason played Rommel in that - could be a JU51 with the Cross painted over the rear window aft of the door?

Then it is simples.
Way ahead of current move to change from fossil fuels.

From the door, window and wing trailing edge I would guess at an Electra 10.

Away at the moment and having trouble accessing pictures so Open House I'm afraid.

Thought it was a really early wing-warper but not so sure looking at the wing (and that would be far too easy!) Is it post 1914 Bear?

[Self loading bear]

Post 1914 indeed, you can see a bit of an aileron at the end of the wing.

[Noyade]

Holy late recognition BATman! - a twin boomer?!

[Asturias56]

Ahhhh - well after 1914 then!

I think Noyade needs to name the challenge tho! Not sure that's the most comfortable (or quiet) cockpit I've ever seen

PS "you can see a bit of an aileron" yes - that was what turned me to a later design than the Earlies.

Great photo Noyade!
Dual stick controls that is interesting!

First one with full designation (regering to the designer) & number gets the honors!

[Asturias56]

"Dual stick controls that is interesting!2

maybe they got them from a tank............

[meleagertoo]

With the engine's name included that things a veritable menagerie!
And by all accounts flew like one too.

Dual sticks? Nay, that's just an early version of HOTAS.

That Lockheed 10 (Electra) looks a whole lot more like a Lockheed 12 to me! A rather slimmer aircraft altogether, also sometimes known as an Electra Junior.

The Internet Movie Data Base calls it a Lockheed Model 212. I was just happy to see "Electra" - and move on.

The flying bathtub is the BAT F.K. 28 Crow.

[treadigraph]

Looks rather fun, similar to the Demoiselle. Always rather fancied one of those after seeing "Magnificent Men" though if Joan Hughes was the only one who could fly it and I probably weigh getting on for double... I believe Santos-Dumont was quite slight?

Of course Noyade is right again with the Dutch Frits Koolhoven designed BAT crow with gnat engine.
