Hello Mr Rohr,

I can say that the 2nd one (triplane) is a Curtiss L-2.

Working on the other three.


Cheers
TNZ :D

Double Jeopardy isn't necessary Col Rohr as the correct answer for # 2 is a Curtiss 18-T-1

Very Good Sir,

Now what about the other three :wink:

Oh by the way are you stealing hints from Mr. Martin :P

Cheers RER


I'd like to say yes, but nope this is all of my own research I can safely say.

Cheers

That sub one looks a lot like a Douglas DT-2 and the first one looks like a Curtiss Golden Flier...

but not sure of either...

Just a wild ass guess on #3, is it possibly Lt. Ellyson being catapulted from a ship at the Washington Naval Yard in a Curtiss AH-3 on November 11, 1912?

Yeah on second look it does look way to small for the Douglas. I'll go with Martin MS-1 also

Isn't the AH-1 a military derivative of the Golden Flier ?

United States Navy Aircraft since 1911 By Gordon Swanborough and Peter Bowers. If Rob comes up with any aircraft quizes from before 1911 I'm sunk!

Still working on # 4

Curtiss built way to many of these early seaplanes. Curtiss C-1, are they also called F boats? Man this is getting confusing.
