Looks like lightning has not struck within the last 48hrs.
Restarting with a twin floater-
Was at an airshow back around 1975 or 1976 in Texas where the Human Fly was scheduled to appear. Unfortunately the weather turned bad with thunderstorms that afternoon and the DC-8 remained grounded along with most of the other aircraft. Too bad!
Spot on with the AL-06 and the giant Cormoran aa!
Board is yours.
I know this was a toughie. It’s the C.N.A. 15 that was built in 1935 for the Littorio Rally. (On page 132 of Thompson’s Italian Civil and Military Aircraft book if you happen to have a copy-no pic though, just a short description).
Moving along, here is a much easier twin boom pusher-
Here is a top view showing the wing shape. It is not a Caproni or Macchi design. First flight was 1935. It crashed in 1938 and was rebuilt and flew again until 1939 before vanishing from history.
I found the photos on the net in a couple of different places. Very little documented about the airplane as you might have guessed.
Here she is with some of her fellow countrymen. The main gear and pants have been removed for display purposes.
Walter did all the heavy lifting this time.:)
The stand under the tailwheel has been airbrushed away on this sporty number…
Thanks to Wout’s hint…
Estivals of some sort.

It was captioned the 690 (which was a fighter after further review- my apologies!)
Good show aa, close enough.
Bomber prototype-
Designed by a Russian, and then shipped off to Latin America and finally plying it’s craft in the Spanish Civil War. Naturally a USA effort, the Seversky SEV-3M.
You can’t keep a floater guy down for long. Some egg nog for the Great Lakes “Amphibion”.
Your board Sir.
Thanks sky. Had a decent Christmas here.
Here is a stylish amphibian.
This Leland Bryan’s Autoplane of 1953?
Now that wasn’t so hard right? :diablo:
It is the Leyat -Jacquemin of 1934 (later also found 1936 as flight year…argh). A few of this designs seemed to be called the “Helica”. Not sure on that. I do like those prop cars AA.
Regardless, nice one Wilkofife. Have at it.
