A very interesting photo Clint

Despite the naval sailors in the photo, I think it is a so called Burgess-Dunne Sportsman's Seaplane Type B-D from around 1916.

It was built for a civil market and never used by the US Navy (or Army)

Hi Stig,


Thanks, had I realised, I need not have started a new thread. Certainly from that angle difficult to differentiate between various Burgess Dunne machines.

Indeed Clint

When trying to identify this one, I went for the engine and its position (somewhat raised), the round shape, position of the twin seats and that it completely lacks any ID.

From the few photos I looked at, only the Sportsman fitted the bill so to speak.

Cheers

The LUSAC still has it's Signal Corps serial S.C. 42149 but incomplete rudder designators; but 40015 was marked A.S. then S.C. (McCook number P53). P54 was S.C. 42138. The service letters were not always changed. S.C. should have changed to A.S. on 24 May 1918.

P53 was fully marked on rudder later as........


USA
C.II
S.C.
40015
