This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I think number 1 is the Great Lakes XBG-1 prototype

.
Because it look's just a little different to the 60 production BG-1's

.

.
My shot at it anyway's Rob

Thanx Rob,
The ancient "alphabet soups" are the FUN ones...
2. By your hint, am I correct in assuming that you mean the one I labeled
originally as P2D-1, is actually a T2D-1? I was going by the 2 vert. fins.
3. Curtiss HS-1,...yeah the single-engine, wing-floats,and bow-chine pretty
much had me cornered to a -1 or -2...no rudder to look at in photo.
4. Curtiss R-6L , again by your hint, my conclusion. In the original photo
does #4 have a "Fokker D-7 like" vertical fin ?... I can't tell due to the
light-on-light combination of fin/background. Sure looks like HS wings
judging by the ailerons..which would lead me back to the NAF product.
Thanx for the "exquisite" torture Col Rob !

Thanx Col,
I have a concern with #2 being a T2D-1, rather than a P2D-1. But your
research materials are probably far better than mine.
Reason for concern is this blurb...could be an error..

Well, #10 looks rough...I think I let our "southern-hemisphere and
cross-pond chums" have fun with it first. Books are fine but something
with a "back-beat and nice legs nearby" is in order tonight. Off to
Miss Elizabeths Grog and Grab...thanx for the fun!!!
