FLYBOYJ · Apr 21, 2005

OH, I thought that was answered?!?

the lancaster kicks ass · Apr 21, 2005

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

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...

Fade to Black...

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

Thanks - it looks like a flying sperm

evangilder · Apr 22, 2005

I was thinking tadpole, but same shape!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Apr 22, 2005

Correct you are at that Blackwolf

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

Wildcat · Apr 25, 2005

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

mosquitoman · Apr 25, 2005

Vultee Vengeance?

Wildcat · Apr 25, 2005

Nope, try again!

BlackWolf3945 · Apr 25, 2005

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

Fade to Black...

evangilder · Apr 25, 2005

Definitely some kind of derivative of the AT-6.

Nonskimmer · Apr 25, 2005

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

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 · Apr 25, 2005

Me either. That is exactly what threw me off.
