Yes, but I still haven't found a match in photo searching which is worrying.

Not a Fokker of any kind. Also Anthony Fokker was dutch, not german. The allies did not want to pay Fokker to construct planes for them, so he asked Germany.

Time would be about right, but it is not an Etrich or Rumpler Taube. Rumpler b.t.w. was an a$$hole as he simply copied the origonal Etrich Taube plane and sold it under his Rumpler name, making Igo Etrich go bankrupt. Since there was no real patent held by Etrich, a lot of other aircraft producers built taube planes with all kinds of developments or changes, one was even completely made of steel ("Stahltaube"). This is not a T. of any kind.

A bit, but a Taube looks different.

Maybe not but it still is not a Taube

You will find no Taube photo matching

Big hints: The photo is supposedly taken from one of the "Militaertyp" planes, maybe during the war, in the eastern front theater, or (if before the war) at least in the east.
As said before the war, the civilian version made a record flight. A lot of german planes did at that time, but this was a distance record.

edit the type on the photo indeed has ailerons.

DFW Mars?

Buddahaid · 04-26-22, 12:41 PM

Gustav Basser piloted?

Gustaff Basser set a duration record in a Rumpler... not a distance record

Quote:

A world's record for a duration flight was made today at the aerodrome here by Gustav Basser, holding wreath a German airman. He remained in the air for 18 hours and 10 minutes. The best previous record was made by Bruno Langer on February 3 - an uninterrupted flight lasting 14 hours and 7 minutes."

Mario Sherrf: german-argintinian, did set set a record; flying (1st) over the Sea of Marmara to Ottoman Turkey and back during the Balkan War in a DFW

Not a Deutsche Flugzeug Werke Mars, not a DFW at all.

I do not think so, though planes of this time may have been piloted by different pilots that also flew in different planes. Not heard about him in relation to this plane.

Catfish · 04-26-22, 04:07 PM

Hint:
not the Mars as i said, but also able to carry up to three crew.
The plane could carry almost as much mass as its own weight.

Aktungbby · 04-26-22, 04:15 PM

German aircraft designer?

Why does Russia come into my mind when I read Catfish answers and hints.

No idea. Pre WW1 German monoplane that set a distance record is what I'm understanding. Not a taube.

Anyway, I keep circling the same stuff.

Jeff-Groves · 04-26-22, 04:43 PM

Grade monoplane?

Buddahaid · 04-26-22, 05:57 PM

Krieger Eindecker? That's still a Taube type though.

Well I did!

But cannot get any info on this aicrafthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoma...tion_Squadrons But it appears to be a 1912 Harlan Eindecker

Quote:

s the son of the banker Otto Harlan, brother of the writer Walter Harlan and uncle of the director Veit Harlan, he belonged to the Harlan family. He founded one of the first car cab companies in Berlin in 1906. In 1910 he turned to aircraft construction. His company, Harlan-Flugzeugwerke GmbH at Johannisthal airfield, produced the Harlan monoplane, which was built in several versions until 1911. [3] With his aircraft several prizes and records could be flown. In September 1913, Hermann Reichelt succeeded in a stage flight over 1025 km from Johannisthal to Villacoublay with a Harlan monoplane. Due to a lack of orders, Harlan gave up aircraft construction in the spring of 1914. [4]
