These Guys

I guessed so, but I didn't know of Sailor Jerry

Seb could you please send that link to the Yak movie?

I wonder what they used for German aircraft - probably just models and stock footage?

I'm working on some skins (for the Yak-7) (and if the roundels are wrong that's because they were wrong in the movie)

I am sending a link to the movie from 1958 "The story of one fighter" from which the cadres came.
greetings

Try this one:

Someone has already fancied that the photo depicts the Loening XSL, but I doubt. It resembles the Fleetwings Sea Bird, but it's smaller. And I don't see any cockpit. You made me really curious.

It's the Sikorsky XSS-1

The Sikorsky XSS was a two-seat amphibious flying boat built by Sikorsky for evaluation by the United States Navy in 1933, for carrier-borne and/or catapult-launched scouting duties. The XSS-1 was powered by a 550 hp (410 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1340D Wasp engine in a strut-mounted pod above the center-section of the high-mounted gull-wing, forward of the cockpit which was aft of the wing.



Based on the Bureau of Aeronautics design 106 and following a mock-up inspection the design was altered in January 1932 to use the R-1340-D1 engine and re-designated as XSS-2. It was flown in April 1933 but the design proved to be poorly controllable and the aircraft was returned to Sikorsky for repairs and modifications. However, Sikorsky was not interested in further development and in December 1933 the aircraft was scrapped.

DH got it.

There is one remaining piece of this plane left. The right wing float resides at the museum I work at.

Your turn DH

the design proved to be poorly controllable

No wonder, since the pilot couldn't see shit. Anyway, well done DH, I'm glad you recovered 

[DHumphrey]

Thanks James and sniperton

Well as the American Baseball Classic is well underway, I thought I would present this for the next "Quest".



This should be an easy one.

Well done James !!! 

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for being the 2018 World Baseball Champions, by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in last night's game 5 of the MLB World Series.

JetBlue Airways - the official airline of the Boston Red Sox - unveiled the latest addition to its fleet today, the plane will fly out of Logan Airport. The Airbus A320 traded signature blue branding for a gray paint scheme inspired by Red Sox road uniforms and features dangling red socks. The aircraft also includes a banner commemorating Fenway Park's 100th anniversary. Customers on the inaugural flight found Red Sox hats and jerseys waiting for them on their seats.
