On May 8, 1928
the Goblin cave in
Maryland was invaded
by EAA 4 of Collage
park.
About 10 people got in
to the Goblin cave and
saw the Flitzer Goblin
project for the first
time. All enthusiastic
about the project but
some still skeptic about building a old biplane!

The headless eagle
describes the life of the
man who always dived
into things without
t h i n k i n g o r
knowing to much about
whatever task was given
to him. However he
always somehow manage
to solve the tasks, by
contacting good
friends or the lead
designer of the Flitzer
aircrafts, the famous
Lynn Williams.
The insignia was found
among old letters in an
suitcase which belonged
to Lt. Hermann Troll.
The insignia has the
shape of a T and an
e a g l e
(without the head!).

The SSMS “the Swedish Samurai’s Miter Saw” in the background,
which was demonstrated and admired by the invaders or was it that the invaders
fled the Goblin cave in fear of the goblin, skillfully swinging the Swedish katana!
Drawings, photos and articles are checked out to the fullest!

CONNECTION WITH THE PAST OR
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
MYSTERY AIRPLANE FOUND CLOSE TO COLLAGE PARK AIRFIELD.
An old airplane found on a close by field not to far from the
Collage park airfield. Looks like a tired old Fokker DVIII. Did
this aircraft ever fly or was it only a mock-up, it is hard to
tell. It does look very tail heavy and the wings looks some-
what to short. Maybe it was used for ground operations
only. The tail wheel arrangement is very strange. It is told to
us at die Flitzer Zeitung, that it would be more stable on the
ground! Maybe some of the readers know more about this
mysterious airplane? Unfortunately no drawings is to be
found, so it will be really difficult to make a replica or
model of this mysterious airplane. But someone of our read-
ers may be up for the task!
(Perhaps it was a Trojan horse used by eaa 4! )
