Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
Antonov Colt ? The AN2 is a great airplane ! There is one near here that I've had the opportunity to fly and work on. Its the largest single engine bi-plane made and it flies like a dream. Its certainly no speed demon though.
But, I happen to like Russian aircraft, simple and rugged. |

Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
Another useful facet of the Swordfish on aircraft carriers was their slow take-off speed of about 65 mph.

Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
Those were "Hucks" style starters originally on Model T chassis, later on AA and other chassis such as Austin in the UK. They were powered by a PTO from the engine. The current issue of Hemmings Classic Car has a nice article on a restored Model T starter with some good detail shots. As engines got bigger and more powerful, the Hucks starter sure beat propping by hand.

Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
My guess is the car was in the way of the plane upon landing --ether at night or bad weather or both...

Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
I don't know for sure but would guess the prop would be made of wood and would be splintered if it was turning when it hit , if it did in fact hit the car.

Re: Collision between a GAZ-A and a R-5 airplane
I had forgotten about that type of truck at the museum. That is a fantastic museum, my brother and I spent 3 days there back in 2008 and I plan to go back again. We found 3 planes that we had actually turned wrenches on, not just the type but the actual aircraft. I wear a prosthesis on my Rt leg and the place I get my legs made me a special cover for the socket on my leg. It has, among other things, a C-124 plane on it. The cover was made especially for me and of my design.
