The picture could have been taken overhead here - we get one several days a week into the local Airbus Factory field on an air ambulance contract for cases requiring transfer to/from the Isle of man.
How about this one............Cheers Doug

Skytrain 10 has it. Built for the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft Competition 1929 by James McDonnell and therefore the start of one of the branches of the Boeing ancestry tree, although McDonnell would not have another design under his name until the XP-67 of 1944. But then followed the Phantom, Banshee, Demon, Voodoo, F-5 Phantom, and the rest is history.

Sorry S'land, not the Albatros, but drawbarz has it. It is the Heinrich Advanced Trainer otherwise known as the Victor Pursuit. A total of 7 examples were built as fighter trainers for the US Army. At the time however (1917) emphasis was placed on tried and tested foreign aircraft, and despite promising performance, the aircraft did not go into production.
