'Lil Knee Scuffer
Need help with these bikes...Blue Schwinn has Air Force stickers on it. Is this a military bike? According to the serial number it was made 6/15/1950. The other bike is some kind of Whizzer, I think. From the looks of the sprocket I think it's a Schwinn?

Any info would be appreciated.

welcome to the cabe! the blue bike is a schwinn racer, mid to late 60's. very nice riders. the second is most likely a schwinn also, but i am sure some of the experts will tell you more. nice bikes.

Does the rusty bike have the dimpled frame on the left side for belt clearance?

The Schwinn DX was used for the Marman Twin, it was called the MP97. I think the Marman motor fit the DX frame better. Below is a photo of a factory Schwinn DX/ MP97 bike with heavy duty wheels, heavy duty springer forks, a dimpled frame, and welded on, pork-chop brake clamp. This has every feature of the WZ whizzer frame. It looks like your bike is just a standard DX frame, with part of a Marman tank like rustjunkie said, and Marman motor mounts.Do you know if somebody crimped/ dimpled the rear left chain stays?

Thank you for the information. Sorry, I don't know if somebody crimped/dimpled the left rear chain stays.
 
I don't think this frame has been crimped. I will sell the Schwinn DX/Marman but will be keeping the blue bike. My father purchased it new and I will keep it in the family. I have special memories of that bike....like when I was 7ish and my dad gave me a ride sitting on the cross bar and I managed to put my foot in the front spokes.
