It in the US Army Air Corps (or Air Service, I don't know date on photo). My best guess is that it is a Curtiss O-1B Falcon.

Thanks Duggy 009 It appears to be the attack version of the O-1B the A-3 . I knew I could count on Warbird Information Exchange for my aircraft questions.

The best place for iding an old aircraft is in an angar and should never be done in an anger.

Sorry, lazy Sunday morning here.

I came across this site a few weeks ago. It's the best one I have seen so far for ID'ing old aircraft.

I love that photo, so clear and sharp.
I have a thing for the Curtiss biplanes.
