Old Koreelah Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Sleek isn't it for a rotary engined EinDecker. Nev This beautiful aeroplane was many years ahead of the pack in streamlining. It set a world speed record -before The Great War. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Deperdussin monocoque- very unusual upper wire frames and the undercart legs mark it out. Plus it was one of only a handful with the very large nose dome on the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it was one of only a handful with the very large nose dome on the engine. Right again, Kaspar. I'll have to find some much more obscure aeroplanes! These pix come from my first flight book, which I received over fifty years ago. If you check out my avatar (my D918) you'll see the Deperdussin made quite an impression.

old man emu Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The Lord is my co-pilot. I often call on His assistance during crosswind landings in turbulent conditions. Many's the time I've called his name when a gust has hit the lower wing just as I flare ' "Jesus Christ!!!!!!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Don't waste your time calling His name. He's just sitting back laughing at you. Who do you think sent that gust anyways? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
