An early attempt to beat the traffic jams on the Ostfront. But the lorry had to drive jolly fast to get airborne.

I think the aeroplane is a Nieuport monoplane.

Yes a Nieuport VI. These served with France, Italy, Russia and (in float plane form) Britain. One broke the air speed record in 1911 (82.6 mph) but normally you'd be lucky to get more than 70mph out of one - the lorry might be able to go as fast!

No prizes for guessing the lorry manufacturer!
