That is non-other than Donald Douglas by his white-walled tyred "Cloudster II", circa 1947.

Nice-looking machine: eventually donated to Santa Monica scouts and scrapped it seems.

Think it was transformed into the Jet Provost....!!

Another pusher design:

The Cloudster was a bit of kit!
Evansb, is that an F1 racer? |
Not an F1 Racer, but it is a one-off that may have been piloted by Wile E. Coyote.
|
It looks familiar. Is there one at Zamperini Field?
|
Acme Sierra If so, Happy New Year and OH. |
I knew I had seen it. The Western Museum of Flight is at Zamperini Field/Torrance CA.

Here's a rather sad-looking ex-flying machine:
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....056eb94bc.jpeg |
Percival Prentice?
|
Chipmunk I'd say, though the windscreen/hood doesn't look right.
|
Canadian built ones had a different canopy to those of British manufacture.
|
Indian? Can we see the whole photo?
|
Not a Prentice or a Chipmunk.
I initially thought Chipmunk at first glance, due to the general arrangement, particularly the undercarriage legs, but no Chipmunk ever had individual sliding canopies over each cockpit. Also, the firewall is too close to the cockpit and those are not Gipsy Major engine bearers. |
Discorde has it - the AISA I-115. I found that picture somewhere I can't now remember! It had no caption and even with EC on the part that I clipped, I had trouble tracking it down.
It does have some "Chipmunk-like" features: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....890a66757e.png Discorde has control. |
Slightly redolent of the McDonnell 119!
|
French by any chance? |
I hope the square windows where removed in the flying version? |
They must be very powerful turbojets if it needed a fin that big!
