02/28/2007. From the Aerofiles: "Built ca. 1929. Cabin high-wing monoplane 'flying pancake' with Hisso-type motor. Huge, longitudinal wing — possibly reverse-delta, judging by its shadow — with wingtip ailerons and a cut-out for the propeller. Underslung, aft-mounted, airfoil-shaped gondola looked to be capable of fitting two people. Reports failed to mention if or how well it flew." |
