Correct, the Farman Sport, built by the Farman brothers - Henry, Maurice and Richard - born of British parents in Paris.

My photo comes from an advert in the American mag Aerial Age Weekly for April 19, 1920. W. Wallace Kellett was marketing the plane in the USA. That's a couple of years earlier than mentioned on the Smithsonian site.

PS to CS@Darwin. There can't be many people on PPRuNe older than I. My father turned 29 the year that advert appeared!
