Hi everyone.
Apologies for the tardy response, but I've been between work and home.
Excellent research TC.
The Galvin Floatplane Fighter 1917. Only a couple of photos of it exist, of which one is below.
Gentlemen,
TC declared Open House because he was on a coffee break. Since that was some time ago, do you all agree that we should now offer him the chance to post, say for another hour? I think that's fair.

Thanks LM,
I found the picture that RR has just posted, having remembered seeing it (or rather the caption "did it fly"). However, Having just found "your" photo, I thought that it looked too modern to be the same machine as the float support look different and I suspected that Bradenav was closer to the mark, but he has said Open House anyway if your decision went his way and I'll have to say the same for the reason below, soddit! So to avoid any confusion Open House Please!
Having stopped to compare the drawing with the photo, I think that what I saw as differences were a trick of the angle, thus seeing both sides as much thicker struts!
At the moment, my internet access is limited to "work breaks and after hours" , so I can't really service any responses to my challenges as I'd like to, so I'll have to await that pleasure for another month, or until I get good access at home, but then I'll probably get no sleep!!!
Just found a rather nice 3-view here;
Breguet's Aircraft Challenge #314 - Page 2

TC is the winner and has sadly had to declare Open House.
