That one wheeled aircraft. What was the story behind it?

Kris

Not a lot on it Kris. Googling produced nothing, which I thought made it 'perfect' for the thread! Appropriate that he had a history of making 3-wheeled cars. Powered only by a 45 hp Salmson 9 ADB 9-cyl, air- cooled radial.
From Janes 1962-63.

 
Thanks Graeme!

What's this one then??

I.M.A.M. Ro 41 at top?
Formation of three Henschel Hs 122s below?
 
This is Bolkhovitinov S in 1940.

Damn that was quick Wurger! Nice photos.
Third from the top, with skis, is the single engine version?

Yes it is. In 1940/41 "S" was modified and the rear engine and its propeller were replaced by an inert mass.

I've found other pics of the plane on skis.

Source unknown.

Kalinin K-12 (VS-2) in 'Firebird' livery which appeared in the Tushino show 18 August 1937.
 
Uff....:lol:
This is Владислав Константинович Грибовский's aircraft type Gribovski G-23 called Konsomlec in 1936.:)

On 24-27th July 1937 the plane took part in the sport aircraft race on the Moscow-Sevastopol-Moscow route.This is the aircraft in your pic.In the first cockpit the additional fuel tank was mounted in order to make its time of flight longer up to 8 hours.The cockpit was covered by a duraluminium sheet.Therefore it seems the plane was a single siter.Max speed 140-170 km/h.

There is another pic of this plane.The second one is a pic of G-23 bis.
