Need some aircraft pics

fairline · August 3, 2003, 12:09

I am looking for decent photos of the following 1920s and 30s planes:

Fiat BR3
Junkers K53
Heinkel He50

Anything will do, but isometric or 3-view schemes would be appreciated. The usual Google image search doesn't reveal much that's of use

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately gareth i have all the photos you need(my father is a big military aeroplanes book collector) but lack a scanner to post them.

I am pretty sure i can find something in google though.
Wait a few minutes.

Thats the best He50 pic i could find. No doubt you found it as well.

Palaiologos · August 3, 2003, 17:29

I found the bellow pic at.The pic designates it as a k53, but not the text.I suggest you follow the link to better judge yourself.

Another pic of the Junkers.Nothing for the fiat unfortunately.

BTW What are these for? The Chinese warlords scenario?

If so, then it would be cool.

Thanks

I've already got the Heinkel but the Junkers is new to me. It ties up with a blurry photo I found on another site, so I think it is a K53.

Anyone got a pic of the Fiat, or more photos of the German planes?

Thanks for the links, Panag

@Techumseh, Fairline

I stumbled across a reference to the Voight Corsair O2U, not the Corsair II of inverted gull-wing fame. Apparently, ~20 of these recce planes were delivered to Chang Kai-chek sometime in the '30's. The O2U was manufactured in both land-based and floatplane versions. The reference implied that the Chinese flew the floatplane, but I'm not convinced.

A nationalist O2U shot down a rival Chinese Junkers W.33 for the first air-to-air victory for the O2U. Also participated in the defense of Shanghai in 1937.

fairline · August 6, 2003, 07:31

Thanks Boco. I've got pics of the Corsair in Chinese markings from the 30s, but I haven't seen any reference to the floatplane version.

Those interwar/ww2 US aircraft names can be very confusing. Aside from the Corsair there are at least 3 entirely different Curtis crates with the name Hawk which were introduced during the 30's, not to mention the Kittyhawks and Warhawk P-40s of WW2 vintage and the earlier Goshawk.

Thanx Panag! Even though you don't need a floatplane shot, I couldn't resist. It appears to be an O2U.

fairline · August 7, 2003, 10:51

Oops. That appears to be the prototype submersible variant

Palaiologos · August 7, 2003, 10:57

Ha!
