Sleek isn't it for a rotary engined EinDecker. Nev

This beautiful aeroplane was many years ahead of the pack in streamlining. It set a world speed record -before The Great War.

Deperdussin monocoque- very unusual upper wire frames and the undercart legs mark it out. Plus it was one of only a handful with the very large nose dome on the engine.

Right again, Kaspar. I'll have to find some much more obscure aeroplanes!

These pix come from my first flight book, which I received over fifty years ago. If you check out my avatar (my D918) you'll see the Deperdussin made quite an impression.

But it’s triple weird - inflatable pedal powered flying wings are NOT on every corner. And this one actually flew

That load was probably only a fraction of the daily output of US industry. The other team had no hope of matching it.

God's own plane, an Angel 44, designed and built by prayer and donations by a bunch of Missionaries specifically for Mission work. pope.gif.f606ef85899745c40c103dff0622d758.gif

The Lord is my co-pilot. I often call on His assistance during crosswind landings in turbulent conditions. Many's the time I've called his name when a gust has hit the lower wing just as I flare ' "Jesus Christ!!!!!!"

Don't waste your time calling His name. He's just sitting back laughing at you. Who do you think sent that gust anyways?
