Can someone ID the USAAC biplanes? |
I tried to before I posted it but couldn't.
I wondered if they were Stearmans. |
Too big for Stearmans. I think they might be one of the Keystone biplanes. Note the slight sweepback.

Thanks. In my search I noted at a California Training field some machines which may have been those at LAX, but the photo is now lost in the ether. One must note that the USA in 1931 deemed the Army to be the major setting for aerial activity, with the Naval Air Service rowing along behind. In those days the United Kingdom was lingering with its April Fools Day 1918 effort, with a Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Air Force attached. I note the very sad state of the Army Air Corps Memorial at Middle Wallop, barely established and already in mild distress.
Hey-ho, OH I regret on the 26th Anniversary of my becoming a civilian. |
While trying to ID the biplanes, I discovered, much to my surprise, that the hangar in the foreground of dook's picture still exists, on the south side of LAX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangar...s,_California)

I find it fascinating all the stuff we find on this thread.
Now - who has something ready ? |
For my own OH, in the absence of alternatives, how about this former field? I have worked in the country, and frequently passed by this spot

In Germany they very fond of planting the energy leafs. |
Sunshine not a particularly major feature in the weather of this country.
|
Denmark then? |
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, SLB than are dreamed of in your answer. No, I regret, with apologies to the Butcher from Stratford-on-Avon. Hover through the fog anf filthy air more likely if the poetic source is to be believed, but I fear an unkind assessment.

Act 1 Scene 1....

Macbeth Scotland near Dunsinane Hill no Energy leaf but plastic covered vegetables. But nothing found yet. |
Yes, bit further East beyond B...y B....n. Keep looking.
|
SLB might consider the 25th May as relevant in seeking the operator of this field, seek it with a vengeance.
|
Salmond’s Muir Arbroath road 25th of May? no idea |
Karel Doorman?
|
Just waiting for an airfield name, very close.
|
Even the name of a bird would suffice. It's that time of year apparently in Holland, seek it out.
|
I think it's called East Haven.
