N.A.F. TS-3?

actually I think it could be the TS-2...
TS-3 modified by changing the airfoil section on the wings for the 1922 Curtiss Marine Trophy race

You all amaze me, and probably others, so don't get shy - just keep on whizzing through your references ...

Happy Pass's "go" looks to me like a Louis Carrolli Suspendacopter

That one.
Vittorio Sarti's Aero Veliero, dated 1828.

Sarti = Italian for taylors (God bless google translate...)
