Thomas Brothers T-2
The Thomas Brothers T-2 was an American-built biplane which served with the Royal Navy.
Built by Thomas-Morse Aircraft in Bath, New York, in 1914,[1] it was the creation of Benjamin D. Thomas (later the company's chief desinger), based on his Curtiss JN-4 (which it resembles),[2] and used the 90 hp (67 kW) Austro-Daimler.[3]
Twenty-four aircraft, in two batches, were provided to the Royal Naval Air Service,[4] the Austro-Daimler being replaced by a similary-horsepower Curtiss OX-5[5]
An additional fifteen,[6] differing in being fitted with floats in place of wheels, a 100 hp Thomas[7] among other engines[8] in place of the OX-5, and three-bay wings spanning 44' (13.41 m),[9] were sold to the United States Navy as the SH-4.[10] at US$7,575 each.[11]
