Is that the aircraft that had a bit of an identity problem? Couldn't work out what it's name was. Its believed that the guy on the port float was named Tony, but the hat doesn't help.
I assume it isn't then Actually buggered everything up 3. is the Lodestar And the middle one is a DC6. Its been a while, so we are all a bit rusty!

This thread has been a bit quiet recently, so wondered if the attached might be of interest! Easy, but for 'bonus' points (whatever you choose to award yourself!) where is it displayed?
Correct on both counts Dave! And I can recall a 1/72 scale model in my youth! Amazing to think this once held the world speed record of any vehicle at 407mph. This is worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Txm_OFZ1Y and another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=194UlnSpBBo Over to you for the next question!
Well, the engine is a Curtiss V-1400 but the plane is a Curtiss R3C-2. I know what you meant though Doolittle correct as well. You're up.
Tough one. I can't get it. Maybe with this thread bump Miguel will notice and have a go. Come one Za !
Don't know what was it official name, if it ever had one, but it's a two-seater seaplane built by brothers Jimmie and Henry Hoffar of Vancouver. http://www.royalaviationmuseum.com/4185/first-seaplane-in-western-canada/
I've recently come into possession of several Players cigarette aircraft albums from the 1930's. And as this thread seems to have died a bit, I thought I'd post one or two of the pics for your amusement. Aircraft markings and card title removed, of course. For bonus points, what's the airline!
Lovely looking plane ! A French Potez 62 in the colours of Air France some time in the mid '30s I'd guess
