Well done you have beaten us again.

After you suggested it to be the Curtiss H-16 I found a copy of the photograph on a document entitled "Aircraft of the AEF". Whereas the layout of the cockpit DO-X is similar it was for two pilots not for a single pilot.

Blohm und Voss BV 40 ?

cringe 17th Feb 2006 16:31

Sorry mikl, not the BV 40.

Well done Mel, you're correct about the DFS 228. It was the V2 prototype; according to my information the V1 had a conventional sitting position for the pilot.

MReyn24050 17th Feb 2006 17:01

Thanks, I knew they were intending to use a pilot in the normal sitting position on the V1 but wasnt sure if they achieved it.
Here is a another one I am sure you and the other experts will not have a great deal of trouble with.

A variation of the Waco 10 ???..... ASO .....INF one of those series ?

MReyn24050 18th Feb 2006 06:25

Sorrry Bert neither of those.

Bert Stiles 18th Feb 2006 07:21

OK, the other obvious choice would be a Travelair ?

MReyn24050 18th Feb 2006 11:02

Wrong again Bert, however it is from North America.

jabberwok 18th Feb 2006 11:12

Ryan? But not the PT22..

PT16?

MReyn24050 18th Feb 2006 12:13

No Sir, not a Ryan. This type first flew in 1930.

Consolidated / Brewster Fleet?
