It aint ………………

I’m really proud about myself for getting the tunnel right! 😀
It was the only rectangular in the States (besides those very early shoeboxes), but the photo can’t be pre-ww1 since the tunnel was built in 1916 (well, depends on what side of the ocean you’re sitting).
Darn! Shouldn’t be too hard to find a twin-engined biplane with multiple floats!
From the start I had a feeling, that this seaplane is British, but I’ll keep digging …

Is it an Astra, or a Bleriot? Might be a Breguet.

Sorry Distiller,

Its US Build.

Don’t worry guys it took my Dad two weeks to get it and a guy at The Naval History Center who is a expert in these things a week. 😮 😀

Stormbird, you obviously have not lost someone close to you who was flying in one of these aircraft. The loss of the crew’s lives makes losing the airframes pale into insignificance.

Paul,

Yes I have to agree have lost to many good friends to accidents you never get over it.

Hi Chris,

I wqouldn’t say a true 1:1 ratio but very close remember this aircraft were very light and with a big Round Engine up front you can with the right power setting you could do this. Also you must take in account that these Airships were rather large and under the right counditions you could almost get a near dead stable air.

This can be done if you are into Jumping out of aircraft I was up for a jump out of a C-130 and the Jump Master told me he was going to fly formation with the 130. 😮 What he did was jump and let the Ground Effect out the Rear Door pull him under the Tail where he flew in formation, the craziest thing i’ve ever saw. I try to do it a few times but could never get it my body weight would not let me stay in one position. :confused:

So basically what the Curtis are doing is what the Jump Master was doing.

I hope this explains it somewhat.
