First flown on 5th April 1985 this is the prototype of this four seater amphibian, later supplied in limited numbers in the form of a pre moulded parts kit. Cancelled from the register in 2003, the aircraft has been displayed at Glens Falls-Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport since April 2005 and was refurbished by the local Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (Chapter 353) in 2014.

The Couzinet 33 made its first flight in November 1931, clocking up 27 hours flying before departing on a flight from Paris to Nouméa. From 6 March 1932 to 5 April 1932; Emile Munch, Max Dévé and Charles Verneilh flew the Biarritz from France to New Caledonia, the first time a direct flight had succeeded. On arrival at Nouméa the aircraft was badly damaged at landing but was repaired. A second Couzinet 33 was built using salvageable parts of the first. But this aircraft crashed on 30 October 1933 in fog at Blaisy-Bas in the Côte-d'Or , France. Photo from A.Littolff family album and published.

75 Morane-Saulnier MS 225 were built for French-air force which used them as fighters until 1935 and later as training fighters . Photo from A.Littolff family album and published with her permission.

American agricultural aircraft built in small numbers. VH-FTB was written off after a forced landing at Bambaroo, Queensland, April 18, 2011.

The utility helicopter LZ-5 utilised Doman's unorthodox gimbal mounted, rotor head system with no need for flap and drag hinges dampers. The type did not go into production and only three prototypes were built, the first two of which were purchased by the US Army, as the YH-31, but ultimately rejected as the rotor system was deemed too complex for practical field repair. The third prototype flew extensively in Canada as CF-IBG and in the US, France (Paris Air Show in 1960) and Italy with the registration N812, and is now on display at this super museum.

The S.3 Springbok reconnaissance aircraft of 1923 was advanced in having a monocoque metal fuselage and initally an all-metal wing. Of the five Springboks built, one S.3a Springbok II became the S.3b Chamois, fitted with a more powerful, 450-hp Bristol Jupiter engine. The first flight was from Lympne on 14 March 1927 because there was no land airfield near Rochester at the time. In April J7295 was flown to Martlesham Heath for testing. On 2 July it showed up at the RAF Display at Hendon. The Chamois remained at Martlesham until November but the test results were unfavourable and it seems to have been scrapped soon thereafter.

The twin-engined H-24 of 1929 led to the H-241 powered by four Hispano-Suiza 9 inline engines, followed by the H-242 with Gnome-Rhône 7Kd Titan Major radials. Accommodation was for twelve passengers. The H-242/1 entered service with Air France on the Marseille to Algiers route in 1935, making possible travel between Paris and Algiers in nine hours in summer. Another route was Marseille to Tunis via Ajaccio. F-ANPB struck the breakwater at Marseille - Marignane in fog on 2 February 1938 and was a write-off. Photo by: E Michaud

Unairworthy replica of the Lublin R-XIII G airplane. None of the original aircraft of this type has survived.

This is the only surviving example of two built as a special version for the 1965 World Gliding Championships. It has a reduced fuselage height and thinner wing section. It has been fully restored and is on loan to the MoBA from the owners due to a time-expired wing spar.

The Wibault 72 was a military aircraft from the interwar period, designed by the Michel Wibault aircraft company, and which served as a single-seat fighter aircraft in the French Air Force. It was a "parasol" wing monoplane and entirely made of metal. 69 units were built for the French Air Force. In 1932 in particular, it equipped 4 squadrons of the 7th Wing based in Dijon. This one depicted in the pic is seen seriously damaged. Photo from A.Littolff family album and published with her permission.

Gourdon - Leseurre GL 810 was a three-seater onboard observation seaplane. First flight occured on September 23, 1930. 24 examples were built for the French Navy which used them on different first line vessels until the begining of WW2. This one is supposed serving with 7S2 Flotille based in St Mandrier. Photo from A.Littolff family album and published with her permission.

This Nieuport-Delage 481 was derivated from NiD 48Bis and was equipped with a nine cylinder radial Lorraine Algol Junior engine. It was used as an aerobatic aircraft, but only one was built ; It seems it was withdrawn from use in 1935. Photo from A.Littolff family album and published with her permission.

The first company called Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) existed until 1922 and became BMW. The second BFW was a continuation of Udet Flugzeugbau, and became Messserschmitt. Its first new product was the sole BFW 1 Sperber, a development of the wooden Udet U-12 Flamingo with a steel tube fuselage frame and N-type struts. It first flew in the autumn of 1927 and was sold to aerobatic pilot Alexander von Bismarck in February 1928. From 1929 it was owned by another aristocratic aerobatic pilot, Prince Eugen of Schaumburg-Lippe, and also flown by Oskar Dimphel.

The RWD-6 was designed for the 1932 Challenge International de Tourisme. SP-AHL took ninth place. Of the other two examples built, SP-AHM had crashed during a test flight. SP-AHN won the Challenge, but fatally crashed two weeks later. SP-AHL was then strengthened as the RWD-6bis, with the single wing struts replaced by V struts, as seen here. Note the Mickey Mouse artwork on the tailfin. During 1934 the aircraft was scrapped and parts were used in the RWD-13 prototype. RWD were based near Okęcie airport, apparently across a railway line. The large airport building included a military headquarters and a water tower. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe

Designed and built by the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT) (Institute for Technological Research) at the University of Sao Paolo in 1943. Donated to the Aeroclub of Rio Claro in circa 1946 who in turn donated it to the museum in 1988.

Björn Andreasson constructed and built the BA-7 during free time, when he was employed by Convair in the US in the 1950s. In early 1961 did her return home to Sweden and started working with Malmö Flygindusti, MFI. He brought the aircraft with him and it became SE-COW. The BA-7 was modified to a new version; the MFI-9 Junior.

A new model from Inpaer (Industria Paulista de Aeronaves) built at their facility at Amarais. The type has recently been undergoing flight testing and certification in Brazil and will start the process for US approval in early 2024. Plans are underway for production in Hondo Texas by Texas Aircraft Manufacturing who already produce the two seat Colt from the same stable.

Aircraft developed by the E.E.S.T. Nº 7 "T.R.Q" or Escuela de Educación Secundaria Técnica Nº7 "Taller Regional Quilmes" (Technical Secondary School #7 "Regional Workshop Quilmes"). It is named "Bacota" LC-1. Though it has been in construction for years, it has not yet been been finished, though the engine runs fine.

The Ca.87 Polonia was a Ca.73ter (or Ca.82) bomber donated to Poland by Caproni and rebuilt for a transatlantic flight. It got four engines and it was made more floatable. Following its first flight on 15 June 1929, it was flown from Italy to Ireland, but there were engine problems and the transatlantic flight never happened. The aircraft was returned to Caproni. This photo was printed in Milan, but we're not sure if this is Caproni's Taliedo plant or the Vizzola factory, now the Volandia museum. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe
