Darktide Posted August 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 24, 2015 Can anyone identify the aircraft at the upper left of the pic? It is a Philippine Army Air Corps aircraft. They used U.S. aircraft, that's all I know. Have no idea which type this one is. This pic was taken in 1938 in the Philippines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBMflyer Posted August 24, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2015 Looks to me like a Stearman trainer, I know the PAF had some of these in their pre-WWII inventory for training. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted August 24, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2015 yep that big old rudder made me first think of the stearman...and it looks like a FW 200 in the water...a google search shows a FW 200 ditching off Manila in 1938... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktide Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted August 25, 2015 Thank you gentlemen for the aircraft ID, appreciate it. Yes, the aircraft in the water is a FW 200 which ditched in the water off Cavite, Philippines in 1938. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
