The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Robert.

Sorry for the lackluster photo. My scanner is being fussy today.

Well there's not a lot to go on here - the tail unit is de Havilland-ish apart from the lack of rudder balance, but I reckon this must be from your side of the water.......and what's that funny old machine in the background ?
 
In 1921, this biplane was the fastest aircraft from this country. Even faster than the military models at the time.
 
The monoplane reminds me to the Castaibert monoplanes of Argentinian roots, however, the wing seems to be a bit low.

But I can't find any Argentinian biplane that fits to the picture
 
This one is from the Northern hemisphere. The company built several racing and training aircraft from 1915 to around 1923 at which point the main designer went into the furniture business!
 
...on second thought I think I'll jump into Moses OB and submit this kite which needless to say it is much easier than the previous one! here we go:

If anything, BG, this one has even fewer clues than Moses' !

But it's a nice shiny clear photo - so - American single-bay biplane.

Can't be many of those, eh ???
 
Sorry chaps -having a bad hair day and letting off steam - apologies BG - FF has this one taped (or should I say pinned ? :jump:)
