The What is it? Game

It looked so red to my eyes! I swear it better not end up being the most obvious aircraft in the world. Is it from the 1930s?

Stearman PT-17

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 14, 2015

No CB and GG, it's not a Stearman. That's what I thought it was when I first saw it to. Very similar though. It was first produced in 1925.

New Standard Biplane?

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 14, 2015

No Jim, but it is a biplane.

I swore up and down when I first saw this picture that it was a Gulfhawk, but then you said no to Stearman. So Travel Air 4000?.

WACO Taperwing ?

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 14, 2015

Token, the tarmac is yours sir! It is indeed a Curtiss Wright Travel Air 4000, otherwise known as a CW-14. Way to go!

All this time I was searching for an All-Orange biplane and then BOOM! It's Orange and White. Good job Token!

Token · Mar 15, 2015

OK, lets try this one. An aircraft I have been captivated by since I was a yonker and I got to talk to one of the test pilots involved in the project.

From Grumman? The XF5-1 Skyrocket?

Capt. Vick · Mar 15, 2015

That's what I would have said also Graeme. Great minds think alike...and then there's us!

GrauGeist · Mar 15, 2015

Good call, Graeme, that has to be the cowling on the XF5

Yep, XF5F it is. I always wondered how they would have to adapt it to make a combat aircraft out of it, location of guns, etc. I think the XP-50 is a lot closer to how it would have ended up.

Yours again Graeme.

Interesting, I had never seen that last image before, any background on who, when, where?
