Is it the DC-5?
|
Is it the Sikorsky VS-300 Helicopter?
|
Spot on, Seacue - did my earlier, deleted clue give it away?
|
I don't think I saw the deleted clue. It's just that the DC-5 was a "Might Have Been" great plane if production hadn't been ordered closed by the AAF in order to concentrate on the DC-3 / C-47 / etc. Somewhere I saw that Wm Boeing had one as his VIP transport!
Oh, my, I was going to do the DC-5 myself as the next picture quiz. OK: Next no-picture quiz. I first flew in 1929. SC |

Were any Sikorsky models first flown in '29? |
Yes, the S38 amphibian.
Are you a Junkers G38? |
Bus429 - my book says the S-38 first flew on 25 June 1928. Perhaps the first S-38A flew in 1929.
No, it isn't the Junkers G38. |
