Nope, someone mentioned it earlier.  It's a Christmas Bullet, and it was a killer.  The "designer", Dr. (yeah, right) Christmas decided that unsparred wings would make the aircraft more manuverable.  Instead, on it's initial flight, the wings came off, killing the pilot.  Here's a little write-up on the guy.

Looks a lot like a Duck, but way, way uglier.

It's a Loening Amphib.... The Duck was a Grumman design inspired by it.

Yup. Dat's da one!

Yeah, I think that's a Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV, with the 2000 hp Griffon.

Aha, I know what it is, it's a Spiteful! I think I've seen one fly near our old home (the one we're almost moving back to) when Odense Airport had an airshow.
