Folks,
I can never guess the ones in WoT so I can never enter one. But if I did (and I knew what it was) this would be it. Anyone have a clue? Also, I wonder if if flew. Those old magazines had a lot of ideas that were built, but unless it shows the aircraft in the air I never assume it flew. Article and photo bottom of page 30.

Dear Moggy,
Thanks. Your rely was a hoot.

PS> Now someone is going to say floatplane those two inventors in NY designed and built and sent photos to everyone which instead of wings had two big rotating tubes on each side (ie like some ships experimented with) actually flew! Even though the inventors never sent any photos showing if flying.

Yes it did. I did all my multi-training on it 😀
And I NEVER parked it with the props like that.

Its a Ben Brown SC

SC Diamond Wing) 1932 = 1pCswB; Cirrus(?) pusher. Tandem-winged evolution of the previous. POP: 1 [682H]. Despite its ungainly appearance, it flew quite well. The “Aeronautical Oddities” video sold by EAA includes some newsreel footage of it in flight.
