Not having much luck with this one either Chris. I'm thinking European, possibly Czechoslovakian (Avia or Aero) or even Rumanian (S.E.T. 10 light biplane) based entirely on that 'roundish' looking tailfin. Am I even close? |

Country: | OK, here is a hint for that biplane. Cryptic, but certainly helpful:   | |

Country: | Found it in 'Die deutschen Flugzeuge 1933-1945.' Then your clue made sense, Williamsburg, home of Blohm and Voss.
The Blohm and Voss Ha 135. Blohm und Voss Aircraft
Very clever Chris! | |

Country: | Well done Graeme! And, A4K, you were soooo close, the Heinkel Kadett is said to have been designed by the same team that also designed the Ha135.
By the way, apologies for the cryptic clue, it´s Harry Truman aboard the USS Eagle, the former Horst Wessel, one of the most beautiful ships Blohm and Voss ever built.....i tried to make it not too easy.
By the way, this is a fun forum, and always challenging. Thanks to all you veterans for letting me greenhorn participate... | |

I Googled "Truman's Yacht" and got the SS Williamsburg which I thought was the ship building site for Blohm and Voss, but in fact it's Hamburg?
(Technically, is it Blohm und Voss or Blohm and Voss or doesn't it matter?)
New angle on the quiz...What's this?...  | |

Where did you find your image Grampa?  | |

About Blohm & Voss, they´re "und" in german, "nd" in english. Were and are Germany´s largest shipbuilders and most the prominent industry firm in Hamburg. | |
