It's interesting that these have Curtiss Electric propellers.

Great photo--one I'd not seen before.

I enlarged the photo and edited my earlier post just as you were replying. They are Curtiss propellers connected to Wright 1820s.

It would be nice to see even better image and see precise camouflage. Two colors on topside?
