The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

When Lefty said far apart I figured one had to be Japan. Nakajima-Breguet 19-A2B of 1925.

Here is the next candidate-
 
Not often I recognise one straight off, but this is very distinctive.

From what used to be called, rather quaintly, The Argentine, it's the Ae T.1 from the Military Aircraft Factory.
 
Your assumption (why automatically French?) is correct - but this baby is obscure. Not on Aviafrance unless it's under another name.
 
Most of the flying boats of this era that have this look are French. Could this be a Farman F.50? Found reference to a biplane flying boat with "two Lorraine-Dietrich piston engines in pusher-configuration".
 
It's not a Farman, and the motors are Panhard 235-cv.

I'll leave it open - thought our friend from truffle-land might have snuffled this one up......:france:
 
Mike, looking at the tail group I'm trying to decipher what I'm seeing.....does this color coding represent the real shape of the tail?

Black - V. Stab / Rudder
Red - Bracing for the secondary/aux stabs
Blue - Horizontal Stab.
Green - Secondary/aux stabs
 
John, this is the only pic I have, and probably the only one extant, so I know as much as you, I'm afraid !
 
It is the Brun-Cottan Patrol Boat from 1918, tested but did not enter service, nor did the later model from the same company.

This one is of similar vintage, but much easier... I'm off to bed so please continue when you spot it.
 
Two names for this one....Dornier RS.IV or Zeppelin-Lindau RS.IV.

Open House if correct - I'm away from the books & database for a few days.
