This picture was copied sometime / somewhere from the internet as an interesting machine to be identified later. The picture file was named '
1910Bokor II Biplane Wegry.jpg', no further information was given. I figured out that
Węgry is the Polish word for Hungary.
Although not a 100% statement this makes it at least likely that we are looking at a Hungarian machine (dating from 1910).
I enlarged the tail somewhat and could see 6 (six) letters, which could be
BENOIO or
BENOID or
BEHOIO or
BEHOID. It could be an abbreviation or a firms name. In my opinion it is not a prerequisite that the name BOKOR is on the machine, a more likely candidate would be the sponsor or the builder or some form of advertising.
Unfortunately all I have is a rather dubious description (jpg name ....) of the machine on the picture (Bokor II). As Bokor was evidently very fond of triplanes (his USA machine and the hungarian Bokor III machine), this is a quite different way to go, even with a Pfeilflügel visible.
