I have seen it classified as a sport monoplane.

There is actually some film footage of it taking off and landing on the net.

Edit: I edited the video to remove the name of the aircraft. See if this works:

No telling on the turret. There is a informative bit on this page if you run it through a translator. Seems the aerodynamics were a little off as it were with the big tub up front.

Here is one that was a contemporary of the Loire. Apologies for the grainy mess.

You got it LM. Thought I was going to have to throw in the towel on the Towle.

Over to you.

She is reported to have broken up in rough water during the first takeoff yet I have seen a photo of it inflight. Was originally built for a long distance flight in the late 1920’s.

Yup, she’s French.

Thanks Al. Enjoyed that.

Not a Howard.

Time to move along. This is the Stinson Greyhound of 1920. I am stuck at work and don’t have a WOT handy so open house please.

Not a Bellanca, but you are on the right path…
