I'm impressed: I got the pic from Wikipedia, but I didn't think you got it that fast. Those 20mm tail guns in the Betty are tough, I got shot down by them at least twice in my P-38. I remember one particular mission when the literally ripped apart Chris' Lightning.

Nice drawing! I always preferred Commando books where the drawings of the aircraft were accurate looking

Here's one to have a go at, it is a bit obscure.



Is there any sort of ruling on the types of pictures posted here? Do they have to be '30's/WW2 or can you post anything?
 
Hi Waynos!

If you look back it appears we have gotten away with just about any aircraft in the history of aviation!

Sorry Waynos. but you'll have to accept that others have Jane's '38...

The Hall XPTBH-1.

Here's one not in the '38...

 
"Sorry Waynos. but you'll have to accept that others have Jane's '38..."

lol, fair enough. scratch that as a source then, or better still - don't announce where they come from

As to your pic, I haven't a clue - it looks a bit 1932, but the '38 Janes is my oldest source. I shall have to dig deep or wait for somebody else to get it.

btw, are unbuilt projects allowed or must they have flown? Some unbuilt projects are obviously just a designers doodles but some progressed quite far without flying obviously.

No need Waynos. Try looking for a BLERIOT design.

Personally, if they weren't constructed or at least a mock-up that was photographed, then they shouldn't be here. As you pointed out 'designer doodle' numbers would be in the 'tens' of thousands.
 
I found it, the Bleriot 111! I did think it was a Bleriot but didn't want to guess in case I was miles out and looked stupid, lol.

"if they weren't constructed or at least a mock-up that was photographed, " that sounds like a very sensible demarcation.

Here's one that shouldn't be difficult, I include it here because I like it

 
Same place as yours because I had to crop that very caption off to post it. I forget which book (its been on my pc a very long time) but its one of several 'worst planes' books I have.

Here's another entertaining photo, id the plane?

 
Looks more like a Wirraway, though the USAAF symbol...



And the span looks a bit short for either a T-6 or a Wirraway, and it apears to be a single-seater, possably a Boomerang, that insignia still bothers me though...
