Hi Kitbag.
The guy who designed and built the original aircraft was Italian. Wiki says he designed and built Italy's first aircraft. He emigrated to the USA in 1911 and this was his first aircraft built there. Famous thereafter for cabin monoplanes one of his aircraft was Lindbergh's first choice for the transatlantic crossing until forced to turn to Ryan.
The net shows this 1911 replica now hanging in a museum. Just the gentleman's surname will suffice...
