The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

One final thought on the Waco - should this not be the 10-T (Taperwing) ? The 10-W was straight, i.e. parallel, wing like most other Wacos, and those wings are certainly not parallel !

Mike, this is the quote from my source.
I must admit that I didn't notice the difference between the ASO/10-W and the ATO/10-T in the picture but now I think that the source is wrong and the biplane is actually a Waco ATO.

You have good eyes :encouragement:
 
This one will not win any beauty contests.

Now I found it! It’s the "Satteo" six-passenger commercial airplane (350hp. Liberty) designed and constructed by O.L. Woodsin and J.P. Porter in 1922.
 
Some clues for the detectives among us:


  • The similarity with the well-know French aeroplane is a good starting point, as (all?) authors mention this.
  • One of the two designers became very famous. The airplane should therefore somehow appear in his CV (but I didn’t check).
  • Interestingly, the designation for this airplane was used twice: for a biplane and for the depicted monoplane. Both built by the same men.
 
Thanks Robert - just happened to get up early and recognised this one right away - posted it myself once long ago - the I-struts and spinner are the clues.......

Here's something small and portly (posted by someone of a similar description....)

Is that the prototype Victa (Millicer) Airtourer VH-FMM? It looks like it except that the cabin glazing doesn't tie up with any of the photographs I've found.
