Title: Wright Martin Type R
Post by: lauhof on December 05, 2020, 11:06:59 AM

Wright-Martin two-seater flying boat Type "R" was designed for reconnaissance purposes, 1916-1919.
In the summer of 1915 it was decided after a short investigation to purchase a number of aircraft. In mid-1917 they arrived in parts and were set up at Schellingwoude. From October 1917 they went to De Mok and the aircraft were used as scouts. The Marine Aviation Service had two aircraft in use, the H1 and the H2. Here the H1 at the Mok airport.

Glenn Martin built the Type S Scout in 1915. This type, designed by Donald Douglas, was a direct 1915 development of the Glenn-Martin TT with a different engine and aillerons in the upper wings. It was a two-seater observation aircraft. The Dutch Navy was looking for planes with floats for sea flight training. In America they visited the Martin factories and ordered 6 Type S models. The J1-J6. The aircraft were equipped with the Hall-Scott L6 125 HP engines. They were used in the Netherlands for reconnaissance purposes. The aircraft were assembled at the company Trompenburg. This is where the J1 of the MLD is stationed at De Mok in 1917. This profile of the J1 has the view where the carburettor later was moved to the front and changes had been made to the suspension of the wings.

The Type R model indicated earlier by me is derived from the S.

Here is the Glenn Martin Type S Scout plane in its original form, as it is in the photo when purchased by the MLD with the carburettor to the left of the fuselage.
