Don't think so.

This is a CC:


Notice it actually has a rear fuselage, not to mention a completely different tail. (Is that a headlight??)

Hint it German Hint.
Hint...you're wrong. :)

Villish VM-1 circa 1914-1915 somewhere around there.

It's Russian, not German.

I sort of cheated. I was thinking Otto Pusher but knew the tail was wrong. So I sent it to a squad mate who use to be the aircraft historian for Boeing. He identified it in 30 seconds.

Let's try this one if you gentlemen don't mind.



It should be fairly easy though.

Grumman AF-2A Guardian.

Technically the front one with the radar dome is an AF-2W.

No help needed on that one.
