Stranger Iin The Grapevine

Thank you friends, especially Mothminor for finding it. Sorry for answering late, I have only limited time to share here and was already hopeless. Yes, it is the second one of “unidentified 1929 aircraft” in the link you gave. Due to aerofiles.com, I think it is correct to store it as Inland S-300 Sport.

Thanks again, and best regards,
RT

Moth minor got it, I’ve been scratching around trying to think where I’d seen it.

And there it is

Welcome back RT,

I think that is one of the Inland Aviation Company types. See the last photo on this page –

I’ve tried editing your photo a bit to get more detail – it looks like it may be an eagle emblem on the front fuselage but I can’t be sure.

Thank you for your answers, but sorry to say, we didn’t get any further. According to aerofiles.com, ‘N92W’ is a “Miller glider”, ‘N92E’ is a Command-Aire 3C3 (which is a biplane), other combinations also show no matching result. Another one to be put into my “Unidentified” folder. Some happen to leave it after years…

Wine or cotton, I think the location is somewhere in California.

…, back flying within a couple of months.

You mean it’s now always flying on the back? For months? Sorry, just couldn’t resist.;)

Regards, RT

One lands in grape vines like this:

Almost new Jabiru efoto, back flying within a couple of months. (Aldinga, South Australia)

The crop is cotton.

Elements of this look like theCorben Baby Ace, but a little larger

Looks to be a reg on the rudder, possibly ending in ’92W’

Just guessing – it looks a bit Morane-Saulnier or, perhaps, Potez?

have you tried enlarging the badge on the fin? and is the something like a badge on the forward fuselage?
