The Burgess-Wright Hydroaeroplane was a Wright Model B biplane with pontoons that was manufactured by Burgess under license. This and the next two photos were taken in the Philippines, around 1913, and may show aircraft from the United States Signal Corps Philippine Air School. The Burgess company later became part of the Curtiss company. |

The two-seat Curtiss A-1 hydroplane was completed and delivered to the United States Navy in June 1911. It had a 75 horsepower Curtiss piston engine and a maximum speed of 65 mph (104.607 km/h).
