    Consolidated-Vultee Flying Boat Projects

    The July 1946 issue of Air Trails magazine has an article on large-scale flying models used for aerodynamic research.

    Siebel Si 201 pusher aircraft

    Not being much of a German aircraft specialist, I find myself stuck trying to identify this strange little pusher bird... It may well be a Focke-Wulf project, but that's my only clue. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it soon and put me to shame! Thanks in advance for your help.

    Okay here's another aircraft photo from 1936. The original is about the size of a postage stamp - that's why this is so grainy - and came from an advertisement for aircraft photos at 10¢ each in a 1936 copy of Air Trails magazine. I couldn't figure out where I saw it before until I remembered an...

    Zmaj R-1

    Hi friends! Recently I discover this jugoslavian aircraft of the 1940. From what I understand, it was a light bomber stopped at the prototype stage. Unfortunately I have found very few pictures and no drawings: does anyone know anything more and have a 3-view? Thanks in advance for your answers!
