Mystery Aircraft

It could be one of these. Either a single seater;

Mystery single seater

Or a two seater:

Mystery two seater

Either way, if I were designing a 1930s era single engined monoplane, it'd probably look like this.

Looks like a Fokker D.21

Close Chris but the spats look wrong among other little things

Close Chris but the spats loo wrong among other little things.

The main gear is more robust on the "mystery" ship.
Also, the mainwing's dihedral is a bit different between the two.

Very close, though.

 

[fubar57]

The wings remind me of the Aichi D3A2 "Val". I wonder if Aichi had a pre-war proto-type or a non-military version of the Val

 

[fubar57]

Not the prototype, canopy is too far forward

 

[GrauGeist]

Also of note: the "mystery" aircraft's maingear fairing also blends into the leading edge of the wing, unlike the Aichi or Fokker examples, with are slightly set back.

Douglas B-18

I"m guessing a Ki-15 Karigane But the cowling doesn't quite match.

I know. I meant nuuumannn's drawings looked like a D.21.

Jan had the most extensive collection of captured French aircraft that he posted on the Air Warfare forum I have ever seen. He will be missed. Can you remember the posts I made on that forum.

I've met Jan and his nephew on several occasions. He left his G1 press to the SFG1.

I think it might be a Racing aircraft from the 1930's look up
Wedell-Williams (although I don't think that is it)

Still having doubts if the plane was a racer. IMHO she looks like a mail or small airliner. Each time I look at the pic I'm getting an impression that there were small windows.

 

[Airframes]

I think that's more likely to be lettering.
I'd mentioned the Weddel Williams racer earlier, and although I don't think it is (the WW had a 2 blade prop I believe), it is certainly similar.

 

[Wurger]

I agree Terry. The mail plane is very likely.

Yes, I remember his posts of those G1's, eurpopean ebay.... we had to let each other know our ebay handles on that forum so we didn't bid against each other. I gave him some captured Blochs and D520s. But yes he was a collector of dutch WW 2 a/c .
