Yes Red you are correct. French planes may be ugly, but they did fly fairly well. Nothing wrong with jodells.

Indeed! Jodels are so beautiful they make up for all the ugly ones!

Talking of ugly French aircraft, I came across this one... didn't realise the A380 wasn't the first French double-decker!

On checking your suggestion, I'll have to give it to you. The 3 view diagram is identical. I copied the image from Pinterest, where it was listed as a Heinkel 108.

 

Here's another oldie.

That project E looks like science-fiction.. gosh the aircraft designers had fun in those days.

 

Are they fighter planes under the wing  ready to be dropped from the mothership?

Right kasper. Now back to our type of aircraft.

This is actually an interesting aircraft in that appears to be known by a number of names, It is registered as a Jihlavan Skylearder 200, but Google that and you get the Sabre and the Kappa Sova (which means Sabre anyway) as well. The Skyleader is a wider bodied development of the Sabre (Sova).

That's right, PMcC  Bruce, what have you got against the French? This plane was built in the US between 1928 and 1929.

Are you guys cheating and using image search? Yes, merc, you re right.

Image search is useless. It can tell a plane from a dog but that’s about it.

Ha Ha. That's about right. Put up an image of a drifter, and it returns an Airbus or a helicopter. But I have occasionally found the exact image I searched.
