This is not one of the designs of Zerbe. The picture shows the 7 wing human powered design of the USA inventor Dr. Frederick Gerhardt. The pilot was sitting underneath the fuselage peddling a bicycle. This 7 wing machine is often seen in a newsreel which has been posted many times on YouTube. It shows the crash of the machine. Your pictures maybe stills of that footage. More information in Peter M. Bowers. Triplanes. ISBN 0-87938-414-2 Also on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhardt_Cycleplane The British Pathé original newsreel can be viewed at www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=20290

I usually don't criticize designers, but there are times when you feel they are heading straight for a disaster.... :-) Stig

It looks like he competed in the Olympics and was involved with San Francisco's Olympic club, see article below: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9803E4DA1F31E2...
