You surely know this attemptive aircraft in the attached picture. Well, I don’t, so I have to ask you for help.
Please also take a look in the general section where I posted another identification request for another, not-that-old aircraft.
Thank you for answers!
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Hi Scouse and Grizzly,
you are right, but, Scouse… the Wikipedia picture shows the Zerbe Quintaplane…
…according to aerofiles.com, the solution “Zerbe Sextuplane” is correct, a picture shows the same species.
Thank you!

Aaaarrrggghhhhh! You are right, Chad. No excuses, I was just too quick for my own good!

The aerofoil section appears quite modern, far better than the early single surface jobs. Now for the engine and undercarriage!
Look a bit closer, it is an under-cambered single surface.

it looks similar to one of Professor J.S. Zerbe’s designs
