The official AHF Cold War quiz thread

...or Z1!

Well, a month has passed without any real activity on "The official AHF post-WW2 quiz thread".
So giving other posters the chance I will answer this one and leave it open.

Zerstörer 1 (D170) - ex USS Anthony (DD-515)

How about this one?

Hi Waleed,

I have the Leberecht Maass as sunk in 1940, so I guess I have misinterpreted your clue?
regards Robb

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Misinterpretation... or misleading!
My clue was:

Funny enough she would carry the same designation (name/call sign) as
an earlier boat from the same country during WWII

The designation Z1 was the common factor.

A WWI Admiral, a WWII German Destroyer and the Ex-WWII US destroyer in post war
German service as ... The Z1

Hi Waleed,

Caught me out! Would you like to post another?
regards Robb

Here it's called quizzing, on feldgrau.net it's called riddling...

I'll decline for now as I'm still trying to figure out the
Spanish marked chopper posted by the Edge

Will be back!

Hints: First one designed/made in this country (1954). Some "French connection" involved, but nothing to do with its name (associating to the cartoon character "Pepe le Pew" )

We'll be waiting for you!

So, that little stinker was decisive... source: http://www.fpac.org/aviones/aerotecnica ... p?lang=eng

Next one from Denmark!

(Me - over & out for weekend)

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

OK, I'm back with a new quiz.

Hint: Don't always believe what you read...

So besides NOT being what it is called, what is it?


waleed

[The Edge]

Could it be Goodyear XAO-3 'Inflatoplane' ? (in "packed" mode)

"Conair" implies something used for jailbrake... maybe something connected with Berlin wall?

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Berlin wall, "jail-brake" or escape... all kind of correct according to the source I found.

My source calls it the ONR-CIA Pneumatic (Rubber) Airplane.
Shuffling the letters I got CONAIR

All yours Edge.

I found another article: http://davidszondy.com/future/Flight/rubber_plane.htm

Next question: what model? (If you know THAT, the 'user' part of question is superfluous )

Hint: it is a rifle/granade launcher combination

ps. Anti-alien M41A Pulse Rifle

[The Edge]

Yes. It's nice to see that old veterans (Thomson as "M-41" and MG-42 as "M-56") could still "kick ass".
