Would appreciate some information on the tailless glider of which I'm enclosing a pic.
I'd like to know where and when it was built and whether additional images are available.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation

I've seen this one before -where I can't remember. Similar to the Armstrong-Whitworth AW52.... (1/2 hr later, still no find : ) )
 
Any relation to the Hansa Brandenburg W-12?...on trial in Japan?...



By the way good job on the Casper and the Post Nuedorf above!

No idea on the flying wing glider but the surrounds strike me as American?

Hi Graeme,
you almost made it..it is a dutch biplane called Van Berkel WA of which 44 were produced during 1919. I think this company worked under licence from Hansa Brandenburg.

Thanks very much AMCKen.
If it may help you out in your research I know that it is called "NCR Canada" but nothing more. Any additional information would be really appreciated (of course it could very well be a students' job from a technical high school)

who is clever enough to guess the name of this beautiful fighter of the thirties (this is an easy one)?

Hi AMCKen,

have you been able to dig out some information for me concerning the tailless glider? It sounds like being manufactured in Canada.
Thanks very much for your help

I believe the label should be 'NRC Canada' rather than 'NCR Canada'. I suspect the 'National Research Council' would be more likely to have built one than the 'National Cash Register' Co.
 
Yes, I'm thinking Curtiss too. The XP-10 maybe? The gull wing would fit but the cockpit seems to be slightly different, maybe another prototype?

Berliner-Joyce P16
Engine Curtiss V-1570
redesignated PB-1 as first entry in the "Pursuit Bi-place" category, which was assigned only twice before someone realized there was much confusion between "biplace" and "biplane"—Consolidated had the PB-2.
