Hi,

Mr. Dijkman Dulkes designed and built the Bravo in 1931,it was a single seat high-wing
cabin monoplane,powered by one 750-cc DAF engine,who know more about it or has a
picture ?,and I saw the same name as aircraft built after WWII,that makes me confuse !.

1931 is a typo. Cor Dijkman Dulkes was born in 1938, his first aircraft - he eventually finished three - flew in 1969.

I think you are right my dear Arjen,

but why it mentioned like that in The World Encyclopedia of Aircraft Manufacturers
From the Pioneers to the Present Day ?.

People make mistakes. This is one.
I used to live close to the beach where Mr Dijkman Dulkes' first aircraft took off. I can assure you he had nothing to do with any aircraft from 1931.

Another indication, that Arjen is right may be the mentioned DAF engine with just 75 hp.
That probably was a converted car engine and from what I found, DAF didn't start producing
motorcars prior to 1958.

A good decision my dear Jemiba.

75hp from a DAF engine needs some serious tuning.
In fact, it was a salvaged engine fron a DAF 33 which had accrued 120,000 km on the road. 32 SAE hp.
