I thought this one from the SDASM collection would be easy. “Aeromarine” written on the fuselage, I thought I go to aerofiles.com and then I shall have it. But it turned out the other way. First I thought, the aircraft is a hot US Navy scout plane, like the model 39-B, only main difference being a monoplane. But then I had to learn it is a light civil aircraft, originating from Aeromarine’s cooperation with the German manufacturer Klemm. It has lots of similarities with the Aeromarine-Klemm aircraft listed in aerofiles.com, but it is not exactly one of them.
Googling a while for “Aeromarine-Klemm” and stuff delivered another SDASM picture, sorrily of low resolution. It is the same type. Here, a person nicknamed DHC2Pilot called the aircraft “Klemm B”.

Well, Klemm aircraft wear the token “L” or “Kl” and Aeromarine-Klemm “AKL”, but there is no hint on a type named “B”.
Do you know what’s up here? Thank you for your answers!

Wow, an answer!:)
I looked up the N number on the registration page at Aerofiles.
NC398N was assigned to a Rhon Ranger glider, I have no idea what that is.
Well, that’s not so hard. One of these old, completely open gliders.

NC399N is assigned to a Aeromarine B. ???? Attached is a photo
Yes, there are some more pictures of this one around. But there is no description of a “B” type – verification not possible! Anyway, it is a progress when aerofiles confirms the existence of a type “B”.
Thank you Aero Gator!

No answer! Seems to be difficult! According to aerofiles, all modifications with engine mentioned do so for a radial one. Nothing about one which not uses the original Hirth engine, but a different inline (maybe of US American origin) one.
Is there anybody who may have access to an early obscure register which may mention the “X398N” number?:confused:
Still hoping! Thank you!
