Probably so. My mistake is to transfer the strict military-civil separation of to-day to the circumstances of 1930, when it obviously was different.

Thanks once more, Eric.

The biplanes on the upper right side still could get a name, if somebody pleases. They looke a bit like Fokker D.XIIIs or Westland Wizards (I know the latter is a monoplane), but they should be sportsplanes.

Thank you, and regards, RT

John was absolutely right (as usual). These French friends identified it: http://forum.aviation-ancienne.fr/t6680p30-qu-est-ce-que-c-est

Contributor Marc_91 says, he had another picture, but unfortunately his computer crashed.

Bumped up for a bit more attention.

Friends, this plane looks like a first-line combat aircraft according to it’s time! And it is an attractive one, at least for those of us who like the 1930 style! (I do:eek:)

So, please do an effort and tell me the type! Thank you!:rolleyes:

Regards, RT

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!

Hi friends,

thank you for your answers!:)

But I still need some details:

1) Can you verify the suffix “bis” for this aircraft?

2) “Putilov” is the same like the armament factory, later named “Kirov”? In this context, the brand name “OOS” has nothing to do with either?

Thank you for interest + further answers!;)
