Yep, that's right....... Jean Marie Le Bris Albatros No II photographed by Nadar Jan 1st 1868
When I first saw this photo I thought Jean Marie had just nailed a pair of wings to a boat  o_O
On closer inspection he's built a timber framed canvas covered FUSELAGE with a rudimentary EMPENNAGE and some form of wing warping/ weight shifting STEERING
Not bad for an a/c built 53 years after Waterloo..... 8)




Balls of Steel  :D

Looks like Gaston Got It.......over to you  :)

Too easy :P
That's a YC-122C isn't it?
In particular, this aircraft is N122S after undergoing several modifications, including the engine replacement from original Wright R-1820-101 (1425 hp each) to R-2600-20 (1700 hp each) in 1958.
See http://www.john2031.com/chase/yc-122c_n122s/337_r2600.pdf
