  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

  See www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/curtiss-r-6-racer/ which has a copy of the same photo, attributed to the U.S. Air Force and identified as a Curtiss R-6 Racer. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_CR

  This is Curtiss R-6, Air Service serial number A.S. 68583 (McCook Field project number P-279). This particular aircraft (marked as Race No. 44), piloted by Lt. Lester Maitland (who also appears in the LoC's Bain collection), would finish second in the 1922 National Air Race. First place would be won by Russell Maughan, piloting the other Curtiss R-6 (A.S. 68584; marked Race No. 43). See photo below: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/51240958834/ The aircraft in the background, on the left side of the frame, A.S. 22563, is a Standard J-1 biplane belonging to the Army Air Service.

  Three Curtiss N-9 built by Burgess were all delivered in April/May 1918 and SOC in 1920, but some had been standing idle since late 1918 due to damage., and since they all look very pristine I would say the photo was taken at some point in 1918. Stig
