  2. Got a friend that has one. It is amazing what a skilled pilot can do with one. It takes off like a plane but he can nearly land it like a helicopter. Certainly short take off and land capabilities though not as fast as a plane at cruise.

  3. Looks like 2 Cierva C.19's. Likely built in England by A. V. Roe

    Pic is from 1930 over Manhattan.
