    I'm assuming the manufacturer either starts with an "H" or has an "H" smack dab in the middle of their name with the rest being photoshopped out. Can you elaborate? Otherwise these stick and fabric eindekkers all look pretty much the same from this angle. Do you have a side view - perhaps the tail would shed a bit more light on it's origin.

    perhaps it would, so..

    Then again, perhaps not...
    a very prolific designer/builder and the aircraft once held a speed record. Reportedly a four-seater but may have only been two seats ( SOURCES VARY).
    As far as I know, the "H" has no relevance and may have been used to cover some other name or was an old photo reference

    Have trolled though dozens of similar types. Would be a stroke of luck if I found it.

    I realize the type is rather generic, but the photos have appeared in several places as it's one of a series of early aircraft by an historic builder.

    The shots are from near the beginning of the end of WWI, but taken far from 'the front'.

    Even with my twisted mind I can't imagine an other clues that wouldn't be a dead give-away Toto.

    I was getting worried that I'd have to provide white flags or tape up a picture of a 172 as a hint.

    I had a feeling it was a US bird, and had you not said 'Toto' I'd still be clicking my way through Aerofiles. Onward and upward.......

    Pretty sure on the Belgian. Don't want to seem "pushy", but here is the next one...

    Aside from minor differences I'd say those were Cub wings. Dunno about the rest of it (yet)

    what looks like palm trees, mountains in the back... I'll go look around SoCal some more before scouring more exotic locales
