New subject: Varga X/G
Is there someone who could supply information in either english or french or german or spanish about subject aircraft of which I am enclosing a picture.I have found rather extensive information on:
Letadla - plánky I.
and
Samoloty wojskowe ¶wiata 1935-1945
however the former is in czech and the second is in polish.Could some good soul direct me to a website written in English/french/german/spanish?
Thanks in advance. carson1934

By the way congratulations to Emilio for solving the riddle of the biplane in the workshop!

SNCAO 700

SNCAO 700

And I hope Emilio that this is even more difficult...

 

[Patoruzu]

Could be a french one MB 135 or 140, but the dorsal turret......

You were right Graeme SNCAO 700

Hi Graeme,

I have compiled a listing of almost 40 aircraft types with contrarotating props.
I hope this is helpful for anybody interested.
Advising me of any omission to this list is more than appreciated.

well done Graeme, thanks for the prompt reply

Another line drawing...

Again the sleek lines of the aircraft sugest a British design, like the hawker Spanish Fury, but the spats are completely different. Perhaps again an US design?? Maybe a Curtiss XP-23???

It is indeed a Curtiss XP-23. Emilio gets all honours again!

Is there anyone in the forum who might come up with a picture of Lazarew ChAI-3 a russian all wing aircraft of 1936? I only found one in the "100 Jahre nurfluegel". Is this all that's available?

I've got one in a book ('Flugzeug Typen Der Welt') - painted with white bird feathers... I'll see if the missus can scan it at work, otherwise drop us your address in a PM and I'll photocopy it for ya.

G'day Ken. Agreed but further down the site the photos are labelled XP-82. Others have labelled it the XP-92. I dunno. I tried to find more with this thread...

http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/post-war/convair-projects-10246.html

Convair XF-92 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
shows aircraft with tail number '6682'. I'd guess the XP-82 comes from a mixup of MX-82 and XP(XF)-92.

 

[Graeme]

Maybe a Curtiss XP-23

Certainly is Emilio!

This is my last chance to try to beat you

Not thinking of quitting are you mate?

I think it was young Storch that showed your Chinese biplane photo way back somewhere in this monster thread and I forget what he called it, but I've only known it as the "Fushing Biplane"...see here...
