I seem to remember seeing the flying boat in a magazine article years ago but most details are lost to time. I think it was just a test bed and not a production aircrft.

A bit of a stumper Col. After re-exam of the photo and the hanger
windows in background appearing where the empennage should be.
I'll venture it's an NC-1...or a sternless F3 or F5L Curtiss/Felix derivative.

Hi Rob...
I was reading the NAVWEPS chronology of Nav/Av 1910-1980 a few days ago
and this photo is credited as the "roll-out day" for the "First NAF-Built H-16
Leaving Assembly Building NAF-2121". What'dyou got?
