I thought this stance was usual for the Tabor.

And another one: The man, not the machine.

[Graeme]

Not sure Krabat, but is he Otto Von Hagunberg, pictured at left?...



(Is it a Fw-44?)

 

[Krabat42]

Nope. It's a German and he was german and world aerobatics champion in the 1930's. The picture was made in 1936 and it's NOT in Berlin. 8)

Krabat

 

[Krabat42]

Nobody? O.K. Another hint: His name is somewhat connected to the german helicopter development.

[Patoruzu]

Ewald Rohlfs?

 

[Krabat42]

Nope. O.K. last hint: He developed knew aerobatics figures, for example a kind of clover leaf, held a record for inverted flight and even flew for one hour inverted over London in 1930.

Sorry it was simplier!

Gerd Achgelis!!?

 

[Patoruzu]

Here a picture

 

[Krabat42]

Yepp, Gerd Achgelis. Aaahhh... the Golden Age of Flight. Where all men were heros, all women were extremely good looking and small green men from Alpha Centauri were small, smelly and... well, green of course.

[Emilio Lafuente]

Hi all,

Very interesting photo of a soviet fighter: the Tupolev Tu-1

Tupolev ANT-63P (Tu-1) - night fighter

 

[v2]

Yeap, you are right Emilio!

 

[Krabat42]

Form this angle, not bad, Emilio.

And here's another one:

referring to page 81.
The pictured aircraft is a Bolkhovitinov S Sparka produced in 1940.
Sorry for the late referral but I'm an old man amusing himself with identifications

Krabat you are a senior member can you help me?
I'm looking for different pictures (other than the one usually
available with the gaudy livery) of the Kalinin K-12.
Thanks for your help

And here's another one:

G'day Krabat! Heinkel He-5...

Heinkel He 5 - floatplane

 

[Krabat42]

Yepp, He-5 is correct. I was looking for a He-6 picture but couldn't find one. So I thought a swedish He-5 would do.

@carson1934: Well, my member is definitely senior but I'm anything else than a senior member here.

I will see what I can find in my sources, I remember an old book about soviet aircraft (from my past in the GDR), it had a picture of the K-12, I'm sure. I will try to find it in my boxes (still lots of them there because I moved to a new appartment lately) but this may take a while. Also it's probably heavily retouched but we'll see.
