The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Found this listing:

"Judson-Kanter F Boat
N-ABCZ Continental Motors"

Whether it's the Air Yacht or F Boat, it must be a Kanter-Judson/Judson-Kanter creation with possibly a Curtiss inline engine.

That's all I have on that. Would be curious to see what Mr. Johnson has to say about it.
 
Well here's a slightly beefier floater, which was definitely not made by either Judson, Kanter or indeed Curtiss !
 
Hmm, Loening type hull, maybe two Hiso V-8 engines, Lamblin radiators. With three engines it looks very powerful for it's size.
Not Shorts. Could be French or Italian.
...or maybe it is Irish. I don't know Lefty.

It is interesting that the aircraft in the inset photo has Warren truss interplane struts.
 
Working up a sweat on this one. Thought it was a Brit initially but not sure now. Still digging...
 
Funny nobody suggested it's American.

Which is good. Because it isn't. Not a Brit though........

The outer engines are indeed Hispanos - but the centre one ??

Here she is again
 
The center one is a Lorraine 450CV no?
I'm sure I know this one but couldn't find it. I thought it was french at first...
 
The centre engine is a 9-cylinder Salmson 250 cv.

You fellows are circling all around this one...... time to beard the lion.
 
Bit of a clue in the last post - 'beard the lion'

Lion = leo = LeO = Lioré et Olivier H-6 from 1919

OH, please.
 
I realize the angle is bad. Might be the only photo of this fighter prototype. Will see if I can find another shot.

Edit: Rear view of the 2nd prototype. Re-engined, re-propped (3-bladed), partial retracting gear.
