Aircraft Identification Thread III

[mosquitoman]

The BV155 is actually German

 

[FLYBOYJ]

i'll guess at japaneese??

Not Japanese!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no i'm not guessing at your one, the one with the american stars 'n' bars, i'm guessing at alder's...............

 

[FLYBOYJ]

OH, I thought that was answered?!?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well i guessed it was russian or japaneese, that doesn't really count

 

[BlackWolf3945]

DerAdlerIstGelandet's is the sole Ki-64, allied code name 'Rob'

FLYBOYJ's is the Budd RB-1 Conestoga, all stainless steel construction and not a rivet in sight... a good portion of the wings were also covered in fabric...

EXCELLENT -

 

[evangilder]

Wow! Good job, BW! FBJ, that conestoga is a candidate for the butt-ugly airplane thread!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

that conestoga is a candidate for the butt-ugly airplane thread!

Thanks - it looks like a flying sperm

 

[evangilder]

I was thinking tadpole, but same shape!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Correct you are at that Blackwolf

Yes the Bv-155 is German but the second aircraft is not a Bv-155.

 

[Wildcat]

Now this is a very simple one! I mainly put it in because I thought it was an interesting photo. 8)

 

[mosquitoman]

Vultee Vengeance?

 

[Wildcat]

Nope, try again!

 

[BlackWolf3945]

I'm gonna say... Wirraway...


Fade to Black...

 

[evangilder]

Definitely some kind of derivative of the AT-6.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Different rudder though, not that that means much. Could've just been a field mod or something.

 

[Wildcat]

I'm gonna say... Wirraway...


Fade to Black...

Correct! I was hoping the star and bar would throw a few people! This is Wirraway A20-527 which was alloted to the HQ Flight USAAF 5th Air Force in May 1943.
Like I said simple, but I had never seen a pic of a Wirraway in US markings before.

 

[evangilder]

Me either. That is exactly what threw me off.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]
