Yup. That's the one.
The Jacobs Convertiplane/Gyrodyne?
That's the one. Another in Aerofiles with no pix.

Well done, you have it, Uli.
Next call, Germany.
Thank you - here is something different - not just a luggage rack on the roof, but room for a couple of the kids too !
You would certainly feel the wind in your hair !
Vickers F..B. 11 I think

That's the one, Jim ! Over to you -
It says the FB.11 was "destroyed" in a crash in November 1916. Wonder if that was a fatal accident or more of a rough landing? Sure would not have wanted to sit in the luggage rack!
Thanks for the suds ! OH please

To answer Kevin's question, the FB.11's crash was due to it being 'deficient in control', and resulted in chief test pilot Harold Barnwell spending 5 weeks in hospital.
Something I found don't know exact aircraft. Except what's on caption. US Mail Plane. I sure someone here can fill in the rest.

It's a Standard JR-1B, Chris, with Wright-Hisso motor. This photo is in Aerofiles, but also elsewhere wrongly captioned as a Curtiss JN-4H.
Thanks for info now you chance.
Chris
