NITRA 3

[VincentB]

Ahoj Vespolek,

After built the MIRA3, now I start to build the NITRA3, always seen in the book from Ladislav Vejvoda "Bezmotorová letadla v Ceskoslovensku 1918 - 1939"
Laco found 2 beautiful photo on this blog

The nose is embossed in a steel sheet




Formers in plywood to make the formers in tubes









to be continued....


more details on this webpage http://www.retroplane.net/nitra3/page1.htm


I need help about the logo on the side of fuselage, maybe you know what's that



look like the flag of Slovakia, but below seem to be a triangle, the double cross is dark on a light background, while that's opposite on the flag
Someone have already seen this logo? did you have another view in color of this logo? or maybe it was a fantasist and personal logo?

děkuji
Vincent

Fantastic, Vincent. Good luck.

edit: I have never seen this symbol before. Maybe it is only simplified Slovak symbol, but why...

It is not an oficial flag of the Slovakian Republic. This time (1925) Slovakia was the part of Czechoslovakia. I suppose that it was a mark of some Air Force group.

Certainly, but I searched with google/google image (french/english words) and I found nothing. Maybe if someone help me to search with the right words in czech/slovak

http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A1tn ... _Slovenska I think that it is similar like this, but the shape of this mark is another. Nowadays it is a national emblem of Slovak Republic. A typical national symbol is a double cross and three mountains (Tatra, Fatra, Matra). Excuse my English, please.

Gonzo, good you have these documents, but here you are out of topic. One link to your page is enough.

OK, pardon

Hi Vincent,
