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, it was the creation of Benjamin D. Thomas, based on his Curtiss JN-4, and used the 90 hp Austro-Daimler.
Twenty-four aircraft, in two batches, were provided to the Royal Naval Air Service, the Austro-Daimler being replaced by a similar-horsepower Curtiss OX-5
An additional fifteen, differing in being fitted with floats in place of wheels, a Thomas among other engines in place of the OX-5, and three-bay wings spanning 44 ft, were sold to the United States Navy as the SH-4. at US$7,575 each.
