Hi,

here is a double-deck Stratosphere airplane designed by Allan Lockheed in 1935,I
don't know if it was a real project or not ?.

Allan withdrew from Lockheed in 1932, so if anything happened with this it is not a Lockheed corporation design.

Yes my dear Jos,I know that,so I wrote it as this.

The layout is clearly related to the Lockheed Brothers Aircraft Corporation Duo-Four/Duo-Six, and
later Alcor Aircraft Corporation Alcor C-6-1, both companies started by Allan Loughead/Lockheed,
the former with his brother Malcolm in 1930, the latter in 1937.
Alcor comes from Allan Lockheed Corporation.
So, yes, it is a Lockheed design, just not one from the Lockheed Aircraft Company. :

The two pictures are of different aircraft.

The first has a shoulder mounted wing and the second a mid level wing. Did they rebuild it?

Yeah, as stated in the post they are the Duo-Four and the later C-6-1.

Footage of the Duo-Six's ill-fated test flight on March 18th 1931 when it crashed into one of the media vehicles present, apparently due to an expected gust of wind on landing.
