Right, a Lion. I had noticed the upper exhaust stacks, and now I notice the lowers as well.

Correct, "Orville starts US Army acceptance trials at Fort Myer in Model A 'Military Flyer'"
Thank you. I still marvel that a baby born when the Wright Flyer took to the air for the first time would still only be a man of my age (44) when Yeager went supersonic.
Or indeed that Yaegers flight is about 50% closer to the Wright brothersachievement than it is to the present day.
Now, who will be first to say what this is?

Hi and Happy New Year everybody 
Maybe this is a well known image but I think it's fun: a big mama taking around her two babies hand in hand (better: wing in wing
)
Now, do you know the "exact" designation for the bomber (not the generic type, of course)?
Cheers

To quote wikipedia:
"EB-29A docked wingtip-to-wingtip with two EF-84Bs in Project Tip-Tow",
part of the FICON project.

Yes, of course
IMO, that was one of the craziest projects of the cold-war era, no surprise it ended so tragically

Good evening to everybody
I'd like to start the year with a question if you don't mind.I have found on the net a picture of the following aircraft which is allegedly italian and tagged as C.N.A. Delta.
Does anyone have more comprehensive information about this machine? Maybe Marco or Tzaw?
Look forward hearing from you

Bravo Klay that's what it is an ANF180 of 1935 of which only one prototype was built. It was originally made with a single tail then transformed into a twin.

All I can find is a reference to a Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica aircraft named "ETA." The company was later sold to Caproni. CNA was an engine manufacturer which also produced a few airplanes.

Hi Klay
thanks very much for your interest to my query.
So we have now established three things.
- CNA means Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica, it existed and was founded in 1920,
- they produced engines and aircrafts therefore it is more than plausible that one aircraft may have been called "Delta" (a previous one was called "ETA"...do you see the analogy?)
- that it must have been built between 1920 and 1934 which is the date when CNA was sold to Caproni
Well this is a lot more of what I started with!
