    More correct would be to say that the crew was rescued. This Italian built Dornier Wal was in fact sunk by gunfire off Grenland on Aug 25th. Stig

    This is the single built Fokker F.V. Since this, and a few other shots are publicity or "standard" photos, it looks like Mr Lowe exchanged photos whenever he could. Stig

    Biplane convertible to monoplane, 360 hp Rolls-Royce Eagle, exhaust pipe over windows provided cabin heat. Good info and some interesting but very poor quality photos here www.dutch-aviation.nl/index5/Civil/index5-2%20F5.html

    The Handley Page Type O was an early biplane bomber used by Britain during the First World War. At the time, it was the largest aircraft that had been built in the UK and one of the largest in the world. It was built in two major versions, the Handley Page O/100 (H.P.11) and Handley Page O/400 (H.P.12). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_Type_O

    This appears to be the Handley Page V/1500 bomber. It is distinguished from the Handley Page Type O (and variants) by its equal span wings and four Rolls-Royce Eagle V-12 engines. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_V/1500

    The Bismarck tribune., July 19, 1918, Image 8 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042243/1918-07-19/ed-... shows this picture, with caption, "A front view of the giant super-biplane, the Handley-Page, which will fly across the Atlantic when the allies get ready to send a fleet of planes to bombard Berlin. Ten thousand duplicates of this air monster, built in the United States, could cross the ocean in 60 days, bombard dozens of German cities and end the war, says W. H. Workman, American representative of Handley-Page, Ltd., of England. Note the size of the plane in comparison with the 14 men who are standing around its wheels." Copyright there was claimed by Underwood & Underwood. NYT of June 30, 1918 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A02E2D8103BEE3AB... has more about the project proposal.

    See defenceoftherealm.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/handley-page-h... for more about the Handley Page HP.15 V/1500 plane and its context.

    Since the first V/1500 to come to the States came in 1919 and this negative has 7/1/18 as a scribbled date, I assume the pictures were taken in Britain, probably at Cricklewood, and distributed by W. H. Workman as he tried to persuade the U.S. to build some of them. All three photos of the plane have a triangular mark at bottom right, which may identify the original source, but I have been unable to interpret it.
