[QUOTE=Graeme;475929]Any relation to the Hansa Brandenburg W-12?...on trial in Japan?...

Looks like it. The Aichi was developed from the Heinkel 56.

I'd like to know where and when it was built and whether additional images are available.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation

I've seen this one before -where I can't remember. Similar to the Armstrong-Whitworth AW52.... (1/2 hr later, still no find : ) )

By the way good job on the Casper and the Post & Nuedorf above!

No idea on the flying wing glider but the surrounds strike me as American?

Hi Graeme,
you almost made it..it is a dutch biplane called Van Berkel WA of which 44 were produced during 1919. I think this company worked under licence from Hansa Brandenburg.

Please see my post# 2883 to Graeme which is self explanatory.
Thanks to both of you for your efforts.

Thanks very much AMCKen.
If it may help you out in your research I know that it is called "NCR Canada" but nothing more. Any additional information would be really appreciated (of course it could very well be a students' job from a technical high school)

who is clever enough to guess the name of this beautiful fighter of the thirties (this is an easy one)?

Hi AMCKen,

have you been able to dig out some information for me concerning the tailless glider? It sounds like being manufactured in Canada.
Thanks very much for your help

I believe the label should be 'NRC Canada' rather than 'NCR Canada'. I suspect the 'National Research Council' would be more likely to have built one than the 'National Cash Register' Co.

Hi AMCKen
Thanks to your amendment I was able to connect with following site through which I obtained all the information I needed:
RCAF.com : Aircraft

Another line drawing...

Patoruzu · 04-06-2009, 09:26 AM

The nose is very similar to the F6C perhaps an inprovement of it?
Still searching

A4K · 04-06-2009, 09:50 AM

Looks familiar Graeme, a Curtiss design by chance?

Krabat42 · 04-06-2009, 11:12 AM

Yes, I'm thinking Curtiss too. The XP-10 maybe? The gull wing would fit but the cockpit seems to be slightly different, maybe another prototype?
