I came across this picture taken in the late 1920s. Could you please help identify the make and model of this plane. Thanks.

1$\begingroup$ Thanks, Juan. It certainly looks a lot like it. I wonder what is in the bottom of the fuselage in the picture I posted. Some kind of radiator fin or just an open trap door? $\endgroup$ Jun 8, 2019 at 15:07

1$\begingroup$ Nice video, that looks like a sweet ride. At the bottom is a radiator indeed. The aircraft was powered by a Curtis OX-5 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_OX-5) or OX-6 engine (can't tell from the picture) and those were water-cooled engines. You're welcome, and don't forget to mark it as the accepted answer. :) $\endgroup$ Jun 8, 2019 at 21:03

$\begingroup$ The engine, exhaust and cowling are different, so are the wheel hubs. $\endgroup$ Jun 15, 2019 at 9:19
