| And not forgetting co-axial helicopters which in a sense are Contra-prop Aircraft (well you did not specify aeroplane did you ?)  Last edited by Cromwell; 05-28-2009 at 06:50 PM. |

| OK the Shack was a repeat - its a fair cop Mind you it is interesting that the PR Spit is flying with an Ex Shack Griffon and Contra mechnism. It might even be using Shack props too - Comments Welcome Quote:

| Hello Carson! I will have to check but think I have this entire article, it was published in Aeromagazin few years back. Its quite long article but I suppose I could translate it for you but it will take some time (don't know how long though). As for twin engined aircraft on the pic its Dornier Do 17K. It was licence produced in airplane factory at Kraljevo and served in Royal Yugoslav Air Force as light bomber. I was thinking about starting new thread dedicated to the Yugoslav Air Force in WW2 years. Actually I have plenty of interesting material on this subject but translating all this is very time consuming. Also if you are interested in this subject you may want to check out this link: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...5-a-18069.html (The Yugoslav Detachment of Heavy Bombers (1942-1945)) Cheers!

| I found the article... It was published in AERO magazin issue 51 from august/september 2003. Here's a quick translation of the text which is refering to the picture on the page you have posted: Do 17 was intended for day and night bombing and recconnaisance and it was equipped with two 870hp air cooled piston engines with a compresor. Regardeless if they were imported or manufactured at Kraljevo, all Dorniers were armed at Kraljevo factory. In the nose of the aircraft was placed 20mm automatic cannon Hyspano and in the windshield 13,2mm Browning machine gun. Besides in bomb bay, bombs could be carried on two hard points bellow the wings, one of the configurations being - 2 x 200kg beneath the wings and 8x100kg bombs in bomb bay. Aircraft had a crew of three. Performance: ceiling: 8500m, combat radius: 800km, max.speed: 425km/h for bomber version and 438km/h for reccon version. Profile from book: Dornier Do 17 - the Yugoslav story (Operational Record 1937-1947) written by Boris Ciglić & Dragan Savić
