Sorry, not a Fieseler Storch. Not the Dornier J Wal, but getting closer. The mystery cockpit is a single-engine seaplane, not a flying boat.

S'land I would say that you are correct regarding the aircraft being a Dornier but I think it might possibly be a Dornier Do-D as that I believe was a single engine seaplane with an open cockpit.

No takers apart from gcardinal? However I have found a much better photograph of the type and this will make it much easier to solve.

Further to my reply to one11's response this aircraft was in fact a single engine aircraft.

Still no further takers? Flying in this aircraft must have been a great way to travel through the air.
