Well done you have beaten us again.

After you suggested it to be the Curtiss H-16 I found a copy of the photograph on a document entitled "Aircraft of the AEF". Whereas the layout of the cockpit DO-X is similar it was for two pilots not for a single pilot.

Sorry mikl, not the BV 40.

Well done Mel, you're correct about the DFS 228. It was the V2 prototype; according to my information the V1 had a conventional sitting position for the pilot.

Thanks, I knew they were intending to use a pilot in the normal sitting position on the V1 but wasnt sure if they achieved it.
Here is a another one I am sure you and the other experts will not have a great deal of trouble with.
