Some old biplanes to ID
These are some photos of some old biplanes that visited my hometown, probably before World War I. Can anyone identify these planes? I think the first photo of one in the pond maybe Jenny but don't know which model of it our the number of yet. It says Join The Air Service on the side of the plane. The story is, the plane was brought was brought to town on a rail car and assembled at the county fair ground for a demo flight. When the pilot starting the engine, one of the local mechanic said it didn't sound right, but the pilot said what what I look like you know about airplanes? Then he promptly try to take off and landed in the pond.
The second photo is of a plane also taken somewhere in my hometown many years ago. It has an unusual engine, that should help to identify it.
Do you think the plane in the third and last photo is the same plane as in either one of the other two photos?
