I have seen D before but had to put something in.[:p]

[Montana]

Well,

according to my sources and, the caption given with that picture, it's a Sukhoi Su-6:

The story of it is really worth reading!

Now - who's the real sm*rt*ss, Kutscha? :D

About the French Narval:

What a waste for the JUMO 213-engine.

Wait a minute: That means, the french ARSENAL-company after the war kept on manufacturing the german JUMO 213-engine? That would mean, they had the construction plans for it...?

Cooool... [:p]

Where things tend to be too easy, don#t let me keep you from digging deeper to fetch some more specific info's, still. In case, you were uncapable or, unwilling to dig deeper, anyway - the phone-number of your beautifull sister/neighbor/fiancee would improve your score immensely, too... ;) [:I]

One hint: Don't believe your eyes...! ;)

Cheers! :)

the second has to be Fokker G1.Netherlands by production , in test by whom I don't know.

the fourth should be the first Pulqoui by Dewoitine . I know I misspelled the names , but I am at another cafe , so cannot correct them . Argentina

Hi Montana(motor),

That first one certainly looks like the Fokker used by the Netherlands after the war, but it just looks a bit too small to me. Could it be a plane inspired by the Fokker, or am I completely wrong on this?

At any rate, it's a nice looking airplane. (Maybe it's the twin booms. :D)

Regards,
Lightning

[Kutscha]

Yes r16, it is a Fokker G.1.

A couple photos of this a/c can be seen on this site, including the photo posted here, http://www.dutch-aviation.nl/index5/Military/index5-1%20G1.html

Google is nice for confirming what you think an a/c is.;)

The other you named is indeed the Pulqui, the sole prototype of the I.Ae.27. The head designer was Émile Dewoitine.

H is a Me163S captured at Brandis by the Soviets. It is under tow as can be seen from the line running from beneath the nose.

[Kutscha]

H is a Polikarpov I-1M-5 (Il-400) of the SU.

E One of the most radical rocket aircraft projects was the Soviet "IVS/ISF" ("Army Escort Fighter"/"Navy Escort Fighter") design. It was proposed by military engineer Lev Golovin in 1941. Evidently, the world's smallest fighter was designed as a part of mobile launcher complex comprising a truck carrier, 5-8 meter launcher, fuel and ammunition stock, a winch and the fighter itself. A crew of three (pilot, mechanic, driver) was to operate this complex.
The IVS specifications were: Length - 3m, span - 1.75m, height - 1.05m, T/O weight - 250-300kg, Top speed - 1,060km/h Ceiling - 7,500m Engine - one Dushkin liquid-fuel rocket (300kg thrust), assisted during take-off by solid fuel rocket booster(s) (1,000kg thrust). Armament - single 20-mm ShVAK cannon Landing equipment comprised the 76 m² parachute and a belly skid absent on the Navy version. Pilot occupied prone position that reduced the g-load and enabled the climb rate of 250m/sec. The project was offered for series production but the VVS authorities rejected the idea of a mobile small interceptor in favor of anti-aircraft artillery.

E: Golovin IVS, Soviet Union
F: Fokker G1 - Netherlands
G: It LOOKS like an old Junkers D-series
H: I'm going to take a stab at Me-163S, but I'm betting that it's Japanese.
I: FMA Pulqui - Argentina... And the Pulqui II's head designer was Kurt Tank.
