The What is it? Game (1 Viewer)

Whirlwind, but that intake under the spinner shouldn't be there. Maybe a lesser known model of it

 

[Airframes]

I'm thinking it's a Lockheed prototype, but can't think of its number. Not a Whirlwind, they were only built with RR Peregrine engines.

Nope... Nope not close yet. wanna tip?

Of course you realize that it's difficult to find a right way to tip a rarey!

 

[Crimea_River]

Is this your own photo or a published pic?

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Its published... Ooops, is that a violation of the protocol for the game? If so, I can post a new one. Thought you'd find this one interesting.

 

[oldcrowcv63]

from the first page: Missed this.


"Only stipulation is that you must use your own pictures....not ones from the Internet or copied / scanned in from books etc."

My apologies... I'll post again unless you want to keep trying on this one? As an alternative here is a portion of a photo I took.

 

[T Bolt]

Storch.

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Damn You're good!

 

[oldcrowcv63]

here's the first one... an XB-38 from wikipedia

 

[T Bolt]

I never would have thought if the B-38

Here's a new one:

 

[Airframes]

Wrong sort of pic or not, it was a good one. I knew I'd seen that engine set-up somewhere - just got the wrong manufacturer!
Glenn - I think it's a Spad.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have no clue.

 

[GrauGeist]

That B-38's pic had me thinking of a P-38 prototype...that would have been a brutal challenge to guess!

TB, is that a Neuport?

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Neuport, not a Spad, but it is a biplane

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Curtiss Hawk? Old biplane like P-1 or P-6? doesn't seem to fit but I'll take a shot in the dark.

 

[norab]

maybe Breguet 14

 

[Crimea_River]

F8C Helldiver

 

[T Bolt]

Not a Breguet. Not a Helldiver or Hawk, but they're closer, at least the time frame.

 

[Crimea_River]

Boeing P-12

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Heinkel 51?
