Burgess-Dunne-FlyingWing
A lovely two man amphibious swept wing biplane flying wing, built in 1914 and flew well indeed. This is a model of D.8 that was created in Canada. This flies surprisingly well as a card model if you give it a little extra dihedral and stiffen up the float struts.

Sopwith-Bat-Boat
The Bat-Boat II was the very first flying boat to have a ventilated step. The Admiralty aircraft was later sold to Greece. Strangely Sopwith built another Mk,II and sold it to Germany just before the outbreak of World War One. Later Sopwith designed a version as a gun ship but it was never built. WHY was it called the Bat Boat?? You'll never guess. Just know it had nuthin' to do with Bat Man & whats his name.
