In times when you think you have quite a knowledge it often happens you see the contrary being true. In the series of questions I made in the last time and will have to do in the near future this one has a special place.
It shows an Italian-German light aircraft meeting in 1938, somewhere in Italy. The easier samples are on the right side. First one there is a Siebel Si 202 B Hummel, followed by a Klemm Kl 32 B. Then Italy contributes a Nardi FN 305, followed by an Ambrosini SAI 2S. Nearly covered by the latter, there should come another Siebel Hummel, and then an (at least in my eyes) attractive Italian biplane, which also gives the first two samples on the left side.
This Italian biplane I don’t know, it is the first question.
Farther on the left, as third, I first thought to see another Ambrosini, then I noticed the swastika on the tail. I should know about German aircraft, but here I am not sure. Fieseler Fi 97 is the nearest match, but not really exact. Second question to you.
The next aircraft (4th) on the left seems to be another Italian biplane (or maybe high-wing monoplane) with inline engine using standing pistons. Also unknown to me. Third question.
The following aircraft is nearly covered by the fifth one, should be (also) a high-wing monoplane, but with a radial engine. I think too difficult to identify. Then comes a Messerschmitt Bf 108, and then something unrecognizable.
The picture is from the Krul archive.
Can you help? Thank you for your answers!:)
