I fed the text to Google translate, then did a little re-arranging:

It could be said a monster or at least the model of a crazy inventor of a few centuries ago. Instead we received this photograph these days - May 1932 - from America with this precise caption:

"Viewed from the front a mysterious airship: New airship under construction by Mr. Frank Bolger president of Associated Aviation Inc. Clubs of America. The strange device is entirely metal and has two propellers, one in front, one at the rear. When ready it will begin a US tour by visiting more than one thousand locations and major airports."

While we're at it, we would just be very pleased to see this kind of photographed airplane-automobile-blimp take off or land in one of those major airports mentioned above and perhaps - why not? - to come and pay us a little visit in Europe.

Thank you my dear Arjen,

and that means,he was not Monsieur de Richmond,as Flying Magazine said.

That's what I like to see, Arjen. GoogleTranslate + human intelligence = comprehensible translation (rather than the usual gibberish that GoogleTranslate produces when fed a substantial chunk of text).

Not necessarily. One item says it was designed by De Richmond, the other says it was built by Bolger.
One piece of information does not exclude the other.
