The challenge has equal-span wings and what appears to be little, if any, stagger.

Is it an Arado?

G'day mate! I'm trying to date this thing. The flying boat(?) on the far left looks like an early Dornier, maybe the Dolphin II which puts it 1922-33(?) which is predominately the Heinkel era. I only start seeing Arados after 1934...but what do I know?!

Hello
- It's a german prototype flown in Germany
-neither Arado nor Heinkel.
-It's not well known , but it's not true " rara avis " .
-it was one of the contenders of the "Seaplanes competition Warnemunde" 1926.
-it was the last plane from it's stable

Good luck
Richard

Specially modified DH.14 Okapi. Something for a long range flight around 1920 I think?

OH if correct, bed time
