My thought is to create a separate thread (if allowed-as in some ways it would be similar to this thread) and each 72 hr image would be downloaded to the forum for discussion/identification. If you post them here, the inference is that the poster knows the answer. The difference being, as you know, no one 'actually' knows the answer. What are your thoughts? The above is American.

| Yes, thats the better idea. Let's do it when the next pic comes up. This one looks somewhat like a Packard LePere LUSAC, maybe a variant or a planned successor... O.K. I got it: LUSAC-11 altitude record airplane Krabat

Your image has "siemtopglider" viewable in your post above. So I thought what the heck, lets google that. One of only two hits was this... "Watson's Wizards" and the Me-262 - rec.aviation.military | Google Groups A thread from a forum with some guys arguing (very entertaining) about Hanna Reitsch Vs Eric Brown. I thought that it was completely unrelated, but some how, they started talking about cruise missiles/glide bombs, and there it was, the Siemens WW1 glidebomb. Siemens torpedo glider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 'power' of the internet never ceases to amaze me. | |

| It helps to be a good "Googler"... I should have renamed the pic before I posted! It looks like something made in a garage... very cool! Good job Sherlock! |

I guess so! I still think it's amazing that googling that alphabet soup produced 'hits'. Is that Forum I posted above, where you found the photograph? | |

| I'm impressed: I got the pic from Wikipedia, but I didn't think you got it that fast. Those 20mm tail guns in the Betty are tough, I got shot down by them at least twice in my P-38. I remember one particular mission when the literally ripped apart Chris' Lightning. Krabat

 Hi Krabat, Read that John Phillip Law, of "The Russians are Coming!" fame, died recently. Didn't realise he had such extensive acting portfolio... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/mo...ss&oref=slogin John Phillip Law  | |
