I'm guessing a Curtis of some sort . . . . too small to be a Supermarine.
Nope, but it is American...
Very small. I'm hoping those guys are just being 'flamboyant' to illustrate its miniature status!?

Getting warmer. The way I understand it Captain, the Messenger inspired the Navy to produce something similar. Consequently, the Bureau of Aeronautics designed this single-seat scout but the Navy contracted two other firms to manufacture it. One built it in aluminium and the other in wood. Happy to accept either name...
It could also be stowed aboard a submarine.
I'll post in here, but this isn't really a quiz.
I saw a picture in a "planes of the Luftwaffe" book at a used book store today, of two mechs rearming a plane that had two LMGs on the side of the fuselage, with the lower one placed slightly ahead of the upper one. The canopy opened up over top, but looked quite a bit like a 109E canopy - the one that opens to the side.
There were no engines visible, but I got the impression that it was (at least) a two engine aircraft.
First off, I was thinking Hs 129, but it seemed to me that the engine was too far away from the fuselage, given the angle of the shot.
Could it be an Fw 187? How were the MGs placed in that type?
Edit: Nevermind, I saw the "mistakes in aviation thread", which had pics of the Fw187. It's a perfect match.

Hi Krabat.
Immediately thought British and Bristol (don't really know why). Now I'm going American and Thomas Morse. The Thomas Morse S-4C?...
Do you got the current AviaQuiz? Took me two seconds this time.
Took me much longer Krabat. Knew it was a Dragon, but which one? DH 84, DH 86, DH 89 or DH 90? they all seem to have the same windmilling alternator on the top wing and cabin layout. Then I found the photo they used (very rare for me). DH 89A Dragon Rapide.
What about a thread devoted to 'solving' their photos? (or attempting to) I can't see any harm in it.

I guess Stockinger and Rex slipped up somewhere?! This is twice isn't?
Sure. Here's my entry....
Got it at the first sight. We had six of them flying in Formation at Flying Legends 2005.
Yes, a good idea, why not. Let's do it. I can see no harm either.
Yeah, unbelievable, but - to be honest - I wasn't that surprised. In my own pessimistic view: The people and the media will be upset but they will look away the next time when they see their next door neighbour is beating his wife. It's high time that people take responsibiliy for what they do and especially what they not do. In Schwerin the mayor Claussen is voted away after the death from starvation of a girl. Grave mistake by his social welfare office. And what about the people who knew that something was wrong and saw that the office did nothing? They are not innocent either.
But that's going off topic now so back to the quiz: Is it russian or austrian?
Krabat
OK. I'll start one with the next AviaQuiz photo.
Very true. We had a story of a man found dead after one year in a housing commission flat that hit the headlines with the media and 'public' blaming the government for failing to monitor its old people, yet his fellow neighbouring tennants appeared oblivious to his piling mail and sudden disappearance...

Yup, that's it. Kind of ugly/cute.
