  Thanks for the information! We've confirmed it, helped by the date in the upper right corner of the negative, 9/19/11, and will update the record.

  Burgess built Curtiss N-9 Confirm photo was taken in 1918 since all had such accidents that ýear they were recommended to be stricken that year). Is it possible to see 100% which number the aircraft second from right carry? 2364 or 2384 (both to NAS San Diego) could be possible. Looking at the number of hours flown and the type of damage does not look very good for either Burgess or the engine maker. Stig
