The first one looks like Boeing model 10 (GA-2). Could it be some development version. The powerplant fits, the dimensions not so. Italian name says (google translate) it is "armored Boeing" and armored areas are probably shown shaded.
 
the first label as Boeing Blindato
is military aircraft either Army or Navy
could some were between Boeing Model 10 to 21 aka Boeing NB

Second labeled as Boeing V3
look like passenger plane typical for 1920s
you know a room for 4 passengers and open cockpit for two pilots
it got similarity to Model 40 from 1925
could some were between Boeing Model 21 to 40

sadly i got no info about early Boeing models from 1920s

My dear Michel,

The top one is the Engineering Division GA-2, a 1920s armored ground attack two-seater armed with a 37-mm Baldwin gun and machine guns and powered by a Packard engine, if memory serves. The USAAC created the design in imitation of the German S-class aircraft planned late in WW1. The GA-2 was built by Boeing because Boeing was the lowest bidder on the fabrication contract (in those days, design companies did not get to build their own airplanes, and the ever efficient Boeing was often the lowest bidder). Boeing also built the GA-X, a twin-Liberty engined armored triplane.

None of these armored attackers proved acceptable, being heavy, under-powered, and thus dangerously sluggis. The USAAC settled on DH.4s instead.

Boeing called the GA-1 the Model 10.


I forgot the illustrations:

Looks like a follow on to the Monomail.

Probably because as a nominal configuration no project number was ever assigned, the
patent was simply to protect the general configuration.
 
Maybe that was right Jcf,

but also we note there was a missing number,Model-230,probably it was it ?.

NO. The so-called "V-3" design is in fact the Boeing Model 72, a commercial transport project with Wright Whirlwind engine, advertised in 1927 but never produced.
