Lüneberg's strange planes (Q689882)

If \(A,B\) are two non-parallel lines of an affine plane, let Aff \((A;B)\) denote the group of all axial affinities with axis \(A\) and direction \(B\). The author calls a translation plane \(\pi\) a plane of type \(S\), if \(S\) is a group \(\neq\)\{id\} and if there are two lines \(X \not \| Y\) such that: (1) the groups \(S_ 1:=\text{Aff} (X,Y)\), \(S_ 2:=\text{Aff} (Y,X)\) and \(S\) are isomorphic, (2) \(\sigma_ 1 \circ \sigma_ 2=\sigma_ 2 \circ \sigma_ 1\) for all \(\sigma_ i \in S_ i\), (3) \(S_ 1\) and \(S_ 2\) have the same orbits on the line of infinity. He shows that Lüneburg's ``merkwürdige'' translation-planes of type \(R*p\) and \(F*p\) [\textit{H. Lüneburg}, Geom. Dedicata 3, 263-288 (1974; Zbl 0308.50017) and `Translation planes', Springer Verlag (1980; Zbl 0446.51003)] are planes of type \(S\) with \(S=SL (2,5)\) and \(S=SL(2,3)\). Then he considers planes \(\pi\) of type \(S\) where \(S\) is a finite noncyclic group. He shows that \(\pi\) is not desarguesian and that the group \(S\) belongs to one of three types. Under the additional assumption ``\(\text{char} \pi \neq0\)'' he proves firstly that \(\pi\) is finite, then he classifies these planes and finally he determines all these planes \(\pi\) which are not generalized André planes. That are exactly Lüneburg's ``merkwürdige'' planes and two ``Extra-special'' planes \(E(5)\) and \(E(7)\) [\textit{G. Mason} and \textit{T. G. Ostrom}, Geom. Dedicata 17, 307-322 (1985; Zbl 0566.51020)].
