Chuhachi Ninomiya's Jewel Beetle Type Flyer on Anamori-bashi

This is the last one of the series of historic planes on the parapet of Anamori-bashi.

 

This plane did not fly. Chuhachi Ninomiya tried to make a power plane until he heard about Wright brothers. See the article in Wikipedia for more detail information. It mentions his "Tamamushi Model".
