Aleksandr Bezobrazov

Aleksandr Bezobrazov was an army officer and aviator of the Imperial Russian Air Force who constructed an experimental fighter aircraft design in 1914. The type was a single-seat triplane on which the wings had an extreme stagger--the upper wing was well forward of the fuselage while the middle set was centrally located and the bottom set nearly under the tail section. Initial power plant was a 60 hp Anzani, but this was later upgraded to an 80 hp Gnome-Rhone. First flight was on 2 October 1914 at the hands of Bezobrazov's assistant, F. E. Moska, and the aircraft was flown later in Sevastopol, but it was never put into production.
