You are the winner!
I would guess I gave it away on the first clue.
Too bad none survived there were skeches of follow on asymetric airplanes but I don't think anything came along until after this plane until Burt Rutan tried a few one off designs.

They stole that name from the Australian aircraft from WW2

 Which reminds me-
What do you call a Boomerang that doesn't come back?

Holy Sh*t I won some thing .

Well ... Miracles never cease.

OK Good luck getting this one.

1. Naval aircraft of 1917 vintage.
2. Made the longest non stop aborted flight of WWI.
3. Left on it's mission from the town where I live.

The Ausie airplane looks a lot like a T-6/NA-50
I think a 50 year lapse in naming gets it well past the copyright/theft stage.
At least Rutans design looks kind of like a Boomerang!
Yep its a stick that Kuhn is referring to which I believe is the evolutionary beginning of a boomerang!
See how we came full circle? Just like a boomerang that works!

If copyrighted, 50 years is no where close, but it probably wasn't.
