    Visiting the Battleship Texas was one of my favorite things after it was retired and placed in Houston, Texas, next to the San Jacinto Monument. It is still there!

    Information seems to suggest that this is actually a Hanriot HD.2 (BuNo A-5621) on the fly-off platform on Turret No. 2 of USS Texas. One of ten HD.2 floatplanes purchased by the US Navy (and converted to wheeled landing gear), A-5621 would be lost on September 3, 1919. Source: www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/firstseries1.html
