Looks like a de Havilland Dh.4 to me, though it could be anything WWI with that sort of water-cooled engine. Nice lines, and very good tonality. I really like this one.
Thank you, Gents. The figuring on the prop kept pulling my gaze back & I tried to get it.
Chadinko - I'm not smart about the distinctions in models w/ these craft - you could be entirely right. The linked article suggested the restoration had to source parts from far & wide. That it would be an amalgam of models would be no surprise. The line I noticed was that its likely the 2nd to the last of its kind to be restored. The ethos of the early flyboys was a hoot, with one story w/ photos of a guy taking off by going over the edge of the roof of a Portland hotel.
