Yes Klay very good. It is the unusual Bujon-Croses B-EC7 "Tout terrain". As said very unusual like all tandem wings of Croses a follower of Mignet

Bujon-Croses B-EC 7
We cannot identify this plane. Can somebody ?
The photograph is from the enough old book. Signed that it is the plane shot down in September 1939 over the Polish sea-coast. But this is most clearly the misinformation.
After the small brainstorm we suppose that this is BV 138.The "beach" looks like a ramp used for sea planes. Right below the wing under the nose almost looks like a float or a spatted wheel. In the middle of the machine on the top looks like a MG mount. The fuselage looks square based on the cross. What really puzzles me is the tail-fin. Is it a duel tail-fin or has the tail-plane snapped upwards. It looks like it has the old 3 color camo scheme.

Stop pondering, pleaseWhile we are pondering on Marco's mystery plane, what about guessing this one?:

...In the past, several attempts have been made by airplane designers to build airplanes with reduced response to turbulence. All of these attempts were characterized by an intuitive approach with no attempt at analysis prior to flight tests, and all were notably unsuccessful.
One of these airplanes (figure 13.1) was designed by Waldo Waterman. It had wings attached to the fuselage with skewed hinges and restrained by pneumatic struts that acted as springs. The effect of the skewed hinge was to reduce the angle of attack of the wing panels when they deflected upward, and vice versa. The response to gusts was not noticeably reduced from that of the airplane with the wings locked, probably because the dynamic response of the system was not suitable. Also, the degree of flexibility of the wings was limited because deflection of the ailerons would deflect the wings to oppose the aileron rolling moment, which resulted in reduced or reversed roll response...
Speaking of tandem wings what about this?

Albessard twin-monoplane, 1910
Edit: Pardon me, I see now it was already identified.
Hello Carson and Feliz Navidad to all,
the sleek monoplane is the Czech racer Letov S-8, powered by a British 480-horsepower Napier Lion engine, but not fast enough to match contemporary racers.
