Alexander ◊ 2008-02-17 21:07	sixcyl wrote A Lockheed 8C Sirius, as far as I can see. Most, if not all, planes used in this film were either replicas or modifications using existing planes. sixcyl wrote (5) It is a Standard J-1. sixcyl* wrote (3) A Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny'. sixcyl* wrote (3) For the crash scenes a modified de Havilland DH 82A Tiger Moth replaced the Curtiss. sixcyl* wrote (2) It is a Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister with an engine modification, probably a Lycoming. The original radial engine would have looked better for a film playing in the 1920s. sixcyl* wrote (2) Another Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny'. sixcyl* wrote Here the Standard and the Curtiss fly in formation. Nice to see how similar they are. sixcyl wrote (5) Another Standard J-1. sixcyl* wrote (3) It is a modified de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk, first flown in 1946. sixcyl* wrote (3) You are right, a replica of a Sopwith F.1 Camel. Seven originals have survived until today, none airworthy. sixcyl* wrote (3) Indeed a replica of the Fokker Dr. I Dreidecker. No original has survived. --- sixcyl* wrote Other kind of nice birds ... Something for IM-nice birds-Db ... definitely your responsibility!

58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-02-17 22:27	Seeing that emoticon, sixcyl, I thought it was another of You-Know-Who's posts. In this case, however, the praise is well deserved!
DynaMike ◊ 2008-02-17 23:08	I think there was a Faller model of the Fokker driedekker (or was it really Dreidecker? Fokker was Dutch, but he left for Germany...?).
