The Bass-Curtiss Airboat was a Curtiss Model F Flying Boat that was modified at Ernest C. Bass's request in 1914 to use a 125 horsepower Anzani 10 radial engine (mistakenly described as a "Lingazani" engine in the New York Times story cited below), instead of the standard Curtiss OX-5 engine. See: flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft29829.htm and, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20712FB345F13738... CURTISS OCEAN FLIGHT? Aviator Asked About Designing a Boat to Win Daily Mail's Prize. New York Times January 4, 1914 "The New York Times correspondent in Paris reports that Ernest Bass, a cousin of Lord Burton, who recently inherited $500,000 from his father's estate, lately ordered a Curtiss boat, but will have the Curtiss engine taken out and install a ten-cylinder Lingazani [sic] of 120 horse power. Mr. Bass declined to say whether he intended to compete for the Daily Mail prize."

Possibly an Anzani 10 powered Caudron G.3.

Douglas O-2MC ?

I know it was because of the open cockpits but man I do love the style they had back then.

I like that classic aviator look, too.

This is a Caudron G.4. This particular example is powered by two Anzani 10 radial engines (distinguished by their dual exhaust collector rings). See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudron_G.4

Thank you!

This is one of the 12 Caudron G.4 (also given as G.IV roman numeral) biplanes (partly) produced by the British Caudron Company at Cricklewood. These were fitted with the Anzani radials and delivered to the RNAS. The RNAS order for the machines was dated 1 October 1915, while machines had serials 3289 - 3300. Most of them were deleted in 1916, not an unusual service time for aeroplanes at that time. This picture shows that it was used in some publication. In some way only the lighter part was shown in that publication, sort of Photoshopping avant la lettre.
