Nope you are both wrong, but graeme you are closer, it is attached to a sopwith.

it's a la-gronme engine on a sopwith 1 1/2 strutter

I've never heard of a la-gronme. If you mean a gnome, then no I don't think it is. I'm happy to be proved wrong though.
It is a strutter though. Number of cylinders should be a clue. I knew you'd recognize it Terri.

Is it a le Rhone on a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter?

That's it. It has those nice intakes.
Don't try this at home!

Over to you, or Terri if that was just a mis-type, Terri?

All yours, Terri.

Well, I actually got one right ! Do I have show a picture or can it be in the from of a question ?

If it can be a question then here it is : What aircraft did Vzfw Hecht fly and what are the aircraft markings ?

Might be a bit easy with that much info. Is this the beast? A Pfalz?

I thought I would go easy on you guys for my first time . Won't be next time .

You would be correct Graeeme . over to you now .

Hey folks. Anyone know what happened to this thread? It just kind of died away. I think it's time to get the thread moving again. Anyone with me?

Go for it!!!! I enjoy this quiz so I like to see it keep moving..

Here's an easy one jsut to get the momentum going again. True or false, the US Navy flew SBD-1 Dauntlesses?

Hi Matthew

I think the Marines ordered the SBD-1 - the first Navy version was the SBD-2.

All the best

Rowan

So true Merlin. The Navy did get the first SBD-2s, with the marines getting the -1s first. Now that this thread is moving again, over to you for the next one.

Hi all

What's this one?:



All the best

Rowan

Hi Guys, Sorry for lack of activity. Life happens!

I'm guessing it's Japanese. Am I right?

Graeme.

Hi Graeme

Yep - Japanese (or ex-Japanese, in this particular case).

All the best

Rowan

It looks like a pimped Nakajima 27 Kate, but I have no idea of any name for the trainer version.

Hi Tony

You're bang on the right lines with the Ki-27...

All the best

Rowan

Ah. Close but no cigar, you mean? No worries. I'm a pipesmokin' man. However, I can't specify any deeper than that.

Hi again Tony

Hint: Check the Wikipedia page for the Ki-27...

All the best

Rowan

Allright. That was a hint with booby-traps!

Since it has Manchurian markings it's not likely to be a KI-27-a Kai, but rather the Manchukuo-made KI-79. Could that summon it up correctly?

Hi again

Yep, that's the one - a Manshū Ki-79 trainer.

Over to you for the next question.

All the best

Rowan

I think so too. after you led the way It looks like the Mansyu Ki-79 would be it.

Ok, here we go then.

What plane is this, and what was the oddity about it?
