    This is the former Zenith Z-12 Albatross, NX-3622, in its Schofield Albatross guise. Here's another photo within the Charles rector Photo Collection: www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/13891816901/ See: vintageairphotos.blogspot.com/2015/04/heavy-lifting-zenit... EXCERPT: As the Z-12 and the endurance records had been Rocheville's passion more than Peterson's, NX-3622 and the rights to build production models (contemporary media had claimed that several orders had been placed, but how accurate this was is doubtful) were sold off to Schofield, Inc., headed by G. L. Schofield and Harry Miller, which accounts for the company’s name being blazoned across the bottom of the wing in our photo. Schofield and company clearly had the idea that the endurance potential of the design promised an opportunity for a go at making the first trans-Pacific flight, if only the engine reliability could be addressed. The Z-12, now known as the Schofield Albatross was re-engined first with Axelsons (probably the 150-hp Axelson B) and then with the 170-hp Western Enterprise Engines L-7. However, there is no record that I could find of any successful endurance test flights, and certainly no record (other than several publicity photos) of a serious attempt at the trans-Pacific flight.

    It's not a DV or a DVa, the tail is wrong. It more likely a DII or DIII.
