Well no one even took a WAG at it so here's a couple more
1 Airplane
2 Military trainer
3 12 were produced, 2 with more powerful Wright engines
4 Last 2 were had camera guns
5 Designed in France but used by another European country
6 Had a long service life, first flight December 1929 and was removed from service in 1949. Although the last one was retired in 1970.

7 When removed from military service it was used as a glider tug.
8 The last one is in a museum in Dόbendorf.

I usually look for something I never heard of. That way I can learn all about a new subject. I live for anything aviation, so.....
Im happy to have joined in on this wonderful little thread.

Mentioned in book "International Warbirds: An Illustrated Guide to World Military Aircraft" as having oxygen fitted.

The aircraft on my mind:
Was designed as a high altitude fighter,
Had oxygen tanks behind the pilots seat,
Designed in 1917
There were provisions for electrically heating the pilots clothing

[h=1]Martin Kitten K-III[/h]
The Martin K-III Kitten was designed in 1917 by James V. Martin for the U.S. Army as a high-altitude fighter. It was fitted with oxygen tanks behind the pilot's seat and provisions for electrically heating the pilot's clothing. Unfinished at the war's end, Martin shifted his goals for the K-III toward the post-war civilian light airplane market. About sixty test flights were made in the summer of 1919, but with little success.
Despite its failure as a practical airplane, the K-III had several interesting design features. It is generally recognized as the first airplane in the United States to be equipped with an in-flight-operated retracting landing gear. The "K-strut" wing truss was intended to equalize the moments and forces acting on the wing support, as well as to save weight and to reduce drag. Although the K-III was a failure (only one was built), it does illustrate one pioneering aeronautical engineer's novel attempts to solve rudimentary aircraft design problems.
Gift of James V. Martin.

Stevegauth30; with a two cylinder, 45 HP engine, it could achieve some pretty impressive flight characteristics. But I somehow doubt it would have been anything but a failure once you mounted a machine gun and ammo to the weight. I doubt it would have been able to climb to the desired altitude; and it would have been way, way slow. Thanks; Ernie P.
