Very interesting Clint
I checked this morning if I had anything on this guy, and all I could up with was he initially worked in France where he designed his "No 1". He moved back to Russia and built two more aircraft, "No 2 and No 3".
No photos of any of them, so no idea which one this is.
Card seems to be Russian with French text as well. Perhaps No 1???
Cheers
