AW.23 much closerI'm sorry, I can't find a forum for this question, so please be kind. I collect cribbage boards. I have one with a plane and what looks like a draped union jack flag, another flag and a maple leaf. I can chase the flags and insignia, but any input to the plane would be great. Thank you.
The types entered in races were not armed but streamlined., and the rectangular windows are also almost identical along with cockpit design. If you google it there were many versions, one may have inspired an artist of the era.Thank you, that is so close. The tail is the best of any so far and the other features are similar - except for the armaments. The connection with the flags is still elusive.
AFAIK Cribbage is played all over the English speaking world, I have certainly seen it played in England.Thank you, I understood there was a streamlined version. The Cicogna without armaments is very close to my plane. I looked for information on any race or flight outside Europe/North Africa. The flags suggest a commemoration of some event. One looks like Union Jack, the other the former Canadian flag, Australian or NZ. And the maple leaf. There has been a suggestion that it's possibly linked to Amelia Earhart's flight, as it's similar to the Lockheed 10-E Electra, bar the tail. That would be an example of an artist viewing an image and possibly getting the tail wrong. Our artist would have been in Canada or the UK or the antipodes - I don't think cribbage is a European game.
