Mistery is solved and I can give you some more clues now.
The kite is German and is a one off, it hadn't two but three engines inside the fuselage of the same manufacturer as the plane.

I was convinced it was German as there are several similar designs with the chain driven props around this time.
Robert's last clue was the clincher I think. Found one reference to the Daimler G.III?
Hmm - this one photo is from the University of Texas archive - along with a few others I found whilst searching - I think you should nip along, Kevin, and find out what goodies lie therein !
The Daimler G.III is it!
Scarcely documented type, but you can find a few pictures in the net.
Over to Kevin.
Would love to see more info on the Daimler. Engine arrangement, 3-view, even a photo of the entire aeroplane. I can't find a thing about it on the interweb.
Going to return the favor with a mystery I have not been able to solve. It is a largish quadruplane of unknown origin. Usually the larger multiwing aircraft can be eventually tracked down but this one remains elusive.
The pilot looks Japanese to me.
However, no picture in the book "Japanese Aircraft 1910-1941"
Looks like this one will remain a mystery.
Going to be out of town for a few days so I'm declaring open board-
OK jump in again with both feet!
Here is my grainy offering:

I'd rather put my coins on the Borel-Boccaccio 3000

Gx is correct, so sorry BG..
Your next surprise then please Gx

This plane was powered by a 20hp engine. A larger version was announced at the same time but presumably never built.

gX
it's not from France, not even from Europe

No takers? I think it appears twice in aerofiles.

I guess this is the Hild-Marshonet Biplane/Sportplane
Thanks, your guess is of course right, Robert

How about this cutie?
This cutie was built in a small series of about 30 planes, some of which are still airworthy.
This one was the first of its breed and it is NOT from the US.
Hi FF
D-EBIN, the prototype Scheibe SF-23V-1 Sperling?
That's it, wout!
The first "Sperling", it looks a bit different to the machines built later on.
Over to you
A nice little trainer in the HT-2, AERO 2, DHC-1 . RG-6, Laz-7-3, I-115 etc. style.
