Greetings all,

could any of you give any info about the images bellow:

Srecko,
in the top row, the first and third picture is a Caudron G.3, the second one probably a Bleriot-type.
In the second row, the second picture is a Farman F.1 and in the third row, the third picture is a Sopwith 1 1/2-Strutter.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Thank you Robert for your attention. I agree and it is very possble about the G.3. I could provide large extract if this mean to you.

In second row could this be Westland Wallace and Wright Flyer? There is many sample build of Flyer with various engine as I know. Sorry about mistake but I definitely not a man for very early period of aviation.

Srecko,
sorry, no idea about the Westland Wallace.
I don't think that the picture in the middle shows a Wright Flyer, the elevator at the front of the plane wouldn't fit for this, however, looking once again, this is probably a Bristol Boxkite, an improved version of the Farman-plane.
Best wishes,
Robert

I have look right now in the large image and you are right. I am mot sure about Boxkite but for sure not Flyer, which is canard type of airplane.

For other plane I mentioned here I get reply from Matt Bacon:

Is a Hawker Turret Demon, with the "lobster" shielding fitted to protect the gunner from the slipstream. 10 aircraft were built as "Turret Demons", but others had turret retrofitted. 64, 600 and 604 Sqns definitely had turreted aircraft.

Hi Srecko,
and another belated solving of a riddle by lucky circumstances
The first plane in the third row is a Heinkel HD 25. Never thought that this could be a Heinkel design.
The only photo of that plane (here in Japanese service), that I found online is here in post 38 (third photo) about halfway down:
http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/air...s-10759-3.html
It needs a while to load that page.

I have found a photo of that plane in a book in the same position as your photo, so if you need a scan, just give me a call

Have a nice weekend,
Robert

Guys

I don't believe we are looking at an Caudron G.III (or ANY type G at all) since they all had triangular fins. What we are looking at is a type before that, and the most probable is type B, but I have no air-to air shot to be 100% certain. So photos 1 and 3, which most probably show the same aircraft, are pre type G!

Neither am I certain we are looking at a Blériot IX (photo 2), since it seems to me it has a too large tailfin....

Photos 4-5 pass (I am lousy when it comes to details.
Photo 6 is the Heinkel HD 16 before delivery to the Swedish Air Force. When test flown in Germany it had a light roundel where the insignia of the Swedish Air Force was filled in at a later stage.

Photo 7 is the Heinkel HD 25.

Photos 8 to 10 pass.

Cheers
Stig

The fourth picture is a Hawker Demon with Nash & Thompson turret, there is a similar picture in Flight at http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchi...0-%200537.html
