Floatplanes at Downtown Skyport NY, 1936

[Jhieminga]

I stumbled across this photo at an exhibition recently and got to wondering what I was looking at.

I looked up the registration of the biplane in the foreground and this came back as a Waco YQC-6 (see here: Civil Aircraft Register - United States (http://www.airhistory.org.uk/gy/reg_N50.html))

Does anybody know what the other type is?

The image is too small and I am unable to download it.

However, I have found it separately. Looking.

Here is a better view:

I think it's a Fairchild 24.

This is indeed captioned Fairchild 24 (two of them).

All three of them
(as they are all slightly different painted)

What’s the amphib?

I'm busy looking at the cockpits thread.

Sikorsky S-39 ?

I wouldn't have thought of the Fairchild 24, thanks for that. For some reason I always associate that type with the Ranger-engined variant only.

Edit: and I agree on the amphibian, that's a Sikorsky S-39.
