Im stumped. Looks similar to a Junkers F.13 but no characteristic corrugation. Also pilots window on F.13 was open with windscreen in front and no glass behind.
Dear friends, I believe that the photo shows the fragment of the aircraft Yokosuka Navy Type Hansa in a civilian version. Probably belonging to the fleet of these machines Mr. K.Ando. In the attachment I send several photos from my private archive. Greetings from Czech Republic as a big fan of the Japanese Air Force until 1945 - Erik Faustus (Nickname Fugaku)
Hello George, Thank you for posting such a challenging photo. I have been scratching my head for a few days but believe the aircraft in question might be a Hansa reconnaissance seaplane that has been modified for civilian use. The excellent article, by the late Peter Starkings, in Arawasi Issue 7 shows a passenger version (J-BCAL) with some similarities. Anyway, that's the best answer that I can come up with. I look forward to finding out the correct answer. Thanks again Richard
The windscreen appears to be a Junkers design but no corrugated wing skins. I hope someone can identify.
