Do you have more on the 0/400 photo? If you view the "original image" you can just make out two American flags on the noseand I'm wondering if it's the Langley, one of eight(?) 0/400s produced by the Standard Aircraft Corporation in New Jersey. Anyone know if it was one of the three used in Mitchell's air-power demonstrations?...
Good to have you here NightFlight....Not anuff stuff on ww1 around here ..Some thing I'm starting to get into...And the Russian info is something we need around here too...
Now there was a bomber that had like three smaller plane that were on the wings of the bomber...Like a flying aircraft carrier..I "think" it was Russian..
You Russians realy had some wild and innovative planes at that time ..
"Huge К-7 Russian designer Konstantin Kalinin. The plane with take-off weight of 38 tons lifted in air nearby 130 persons or 10 tons of aerial bombs. And it in the early thirties! Defensive arms of this giant about 12 fire nests (were supposed to finish 8 guns of calibre of 20 mm and 8 machine guns of calibre of 7,62 mm). For delivery of marksmen to two tail machine guns even the special electrocart moving on cables in a tail beam has been designed. In sense of defence the plane practically had no «dead zones», and any point raked at least three arrow that raised reliability of its protection - and it for nine years before occurrence legendary American «a flying fortress» Boeing B-17."

Hi NightFlightAs.
I think you should start a thread on this subject. It would be interesting.
By the way. Remember this photograph you uploaded on the previous page? I'm pretty sure it's not from the Handley Page stable, but is in fact a Blackburn product. The Blackburn General Purpose...

And I'll even say ..Please... ...
It must of been a real trick to fly those big boys... Planes on the top of the wings would be a little top heavy..
Onthe K-7 the first pic show something on the roof ..Looks like big guns..I'll give the Russians one thing ..They will try anything ..And thats a good thing in my book...
That wasn't the one I was talking about. This one is Russian and it is a very old photo. There are definately four fighters under the wing. I really can't remember what it was but the photo you posted was not the configuration I have. I'll have to try and dig out the photo...
