The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

No, a custom build (by a large and well-known company) to a military specification.

One of the biggest single-engine floatplanes built at the time - (early Twenties) - it once carried seven passengers....
 
Well, I'm surprised - a wee look into your Putnams would have revealed this as the Fairey Fremantle.

Hi Mike :salute:
correct about the Piper influence. Mr. Nelson A, Bunnels designed the streamlined forward fuselage with retractable wheels in fuselage sponsons (making the aircraft an amphibian) himself. The wings, rear fuselage and tail section of a J3 completed the job and a Continental C85 above the cabin made it move. The Bunnels Sport carried registration N10533 and first flew around 1965/1966.

May we invite you, please, for the next one
 
Don't deserve that at all, Walter - only a stab at a fairly obvious Piper mod, and no chance whatsoever of guessing a true obscurity ! (Anyone else ? Honest ?)

In the interest of continuity we'll press on, with a pre-war bipe of European extraction, to save you all hours of Juptnering.
