Well done Brian, it is the Kinner Canary, AKA Airster
The Airster appeared in 1920 designed by Bert Kinner, it was a one or two seat open-cockpit single-engine biplane. The first single-seat Airster was powered by a 60 hp (45 kW) Lawrance L-4 radial engine. When the prototype crashed on a test flight it was rebuilt as a two-seater with a wider cockpit. One Airster named The Canary was bought by Amelia Earhart while she was learning to fly (one source has it that Amelia’s parents gave it to her for her 24th birthday).
On October 22, 1922, Earhart set a women's altitude record of 14,000 feet (4,200 meters). Sadly, she was soon forced to sell her Canary owing to the high price of gas.
Later production aircraft had slab-sided plywood fuselages and were powered by a variety of 60 hp (45 kW) engines including Kinner.
Bert Kinner standing beside what was to become The Canary on account of its bright yellow colour scheme!
