Thank you Stephen for your reply. I've checked every picture I could find of aircraft with lozenge, and your observation seems correct. With the possible exception of the SS DIII only two-seaters appear to have, occasionally, used diagonal wing covering. My sources are however very limited, and I was able to find only a single picture where this diagonal application is evident (a Halb CLII), all other two-seater pictures featured the ordinary chord-wise wing covering. Hopefully some kind soul can confirm whether these assumptions are correct?

There was a good thread about this argument some 2 years ago: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/sh...506#post171506 . It doesn't however say if the SS DIII was indeed the only single-seat aircraft with this unusual arrangement, or if there were other types as well.
