Country:  | The fixed rudder and form might suggest it was built as a speed aircraft, like the Geebee racer - not designed to turn, but just fly a straight course as fast as possible. Wonder what engine it's got? | |

Country: | ...Dosen't look much like a 'speedster' to me either, it was the lack of rudder and strange form to the fueslage that got me thinking..

Country: | So I wasn't that far away with Aerocar. I'm so good...
And that's the Lockheed Orion Explorer. And the man with the eyepatch is Wiley Post, right?

Country: | I never before heard about the aircar. Graeme certainly always digs up the most entertaining aircraft....
Correct, Wiley Post, Will Rogers and the (indeed re-engined and floated and also the inspiration and model for the He70) Lockheed Orion 9c. The last photograph ever taken of all of three taken just before the fatal August 15, 1935 crash
