Re: Name that plane
Interesting 'silhouette' you've posted 343 
It has a similar outline to the "Kalkert Ka 430 Glider" posted by JagdtigerI a while back, but the cockpit does'nt match ??

Re: Name that plane
Typical ... New I should have posted before having my dinner 
Yep, that's what I had ... The "Laister-Kauffman XCG-10A"
Nice find on the photos Lou, the only one I came across was the same shot 343 posted ... Well done.

Re: Name that plane
Here are a couple more of the XCG-10
==========================
Now, for my entry into the quiz....
.... this is an easy one..... but I just like the name of the plane......
.... so, the first one to provide the 'popular' name for the plane and make me giggle wins.
-whatever

Re: Name that plane
As Jagdtiger1 said, I believe iti is the F4F-S3 "Wildcatfish" that never made it past the prototype stage, only the one was made, it was a disappointment apparently.

That's the 'official' (read 'boring') name of the plane.... but not the one I was looking for..... I'm NOT giggling.

According to this website ( Daveswarbirds), the conversion to Wild Catfish was performed by the Edo Corporation (manufacturer of seaplane floats), and they provided 100 pairs of floats to the Navy. I don't know whether it was a 'disappointment' so much as, as he points out, ".... the changing nature of the war in the Pacific" that canceled the project.
But the name lives on!
Wild Catfish!

Re: Name that plane
It is from a country invaded by Germany within the first year of the war. Let's start with that.

Re: Name that plane
Hello JagdtigerI, finally I found your page 
it is the Norwegian Kjeller FF 6 (T.2) 1921
But: the first year of the war was 1939 and not 1940 Norway

Re: Name that plane
Hello guys,
this one really struck me whilst searching for JagdtigerI's "1939" aircraft.
It does look like the forrunner of the Mustang doesn't it??

Damn British copycats

Re: Name that plane
Hi Kruska,
In my mind what I meant by the first year of the war was not 1939 but Sept. 1 1939- Sept. 1 1940. Sorry for the confusion
