Hello everybody and happy Easter!
Your boat looks Italian?
It sure does... I've been searching all the afternoon and can't figure this out...
Very similar to a Macchi M33, but the pilot position is all wrong. Also, almost all Italian flying boats have their engines underslung from the top wing, and this apparently has it placed on top.
Very rare "scalp-tractor" prop arrangement also...
Also some elements similar to Curtiss designs.
This also seems more a sesquiplane than a biplane.
The four white dots make me think it's an 8-cylinder, but I might be wrong.
The tail's a riddle. Couldn't find anything even remotely similar.
And I sifted through a lot of stuff.
I don't know why but I suspect that this is going to be really as easy (maybe even self-evident?) as SincoTC said anc I'll curse myself a lot...
