WW2 aircraft

I think I saw it in a book somewhere… gotta look.

Please, my dear Herr Major – take your time. We are not in a hurry. :slight_smile:

It’s a Bréguet 470T “Fulgur”!

Bravo, my dear Mr. Sergej! Yes, Breguet 470 Fulgur was our mystery airplane. This machine participated in the Paris - Saigon air race back there in 1936, with Mr. Michel Detroyat in the cockipt as the pilot in command.

Your turn! :smiley:

Thank you Librarian.

This time it’s a bit easier but I want to hear at least
3 names connected with this aircraft(s).:wink:

Oh, no problem: Boeing B 29, Tu 4, B-4, Самолет “Р”, DFS 346. Any further wishes, my dear Mr. Sergej? :wink:

No - no wishes today.:wink:

You’re correct!

The DFS 346 was a German rocket-powered,
high-speed research aircraft, captured by the
Red Army and modified by the OKB-2.

Your turn!

here,

Kawasaki KI-93-9 aka Rikugun

OK, honorable gentlemen, tell me please - what in tophet is this contraption? :wink:

Is this not the Passenger aircraft that the Savoia-Marchetti SM-79 was based on? Although it seems lower to the ground than that bird.

No, my dear Sir. This truly amazing, but in the very same time sorrowfully unsuccesful aircraft, was primarily designed and classified as a high-speed transporter. As far as I know, this machine did not influence the first modern Italian tri-motor airplane configuration - Savoia-Marchetti SM 73. :slight_smile:

The whole world seemed to go through a ‘Tri-Motor’ phase, perhaps because engines of the time were unreliable or perhaps to give the traveling public (such as it was) confidence that they were not going to fall out of the sky!

But from such beginnings came both the Ford Tri-Motor and the Junkers examples of both are still flying, so they got something right. :smiley:

That’s a Pander S IV Panderjager!

Yes, my dear Mr. Sergej – Pander S 4 Panderjager (AKA Postjager, or Pechjager) – that highly promising, aerodynamically beautiful, but sadly unsuccesful aircraft was our mystery machine! An excellent web-page regarding this atypical airplane is located here:

Your turn, my dear Mr. Sergej! :smiley:

Thank you Librarian!

Here is my offer:

Oh, not at all, my dear Mr. Sergej – the pleasure was mine!:slight_smile:

And what a nice quality snapshot of the Siebel Si 204 while in Soviet service! Thank you very much! :smiley:

You’re right as always Librarian!

Here some more of them:

Really wonderful pictures!:smiley: I have them all on my hard-disc now – you know… just in case. :roll:

And here is may newest offer:

Fairly …extraordinary machine, if I may say so.

Uhh again this ruddershape.
The Westland Wyvern S4 is simular to this,
but it isn’t it, right?
