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

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.

 
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.

Uff....
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.
