Photo US Navy Aircraft

[Stig Jarlevik]

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
Stig
