Thomas and Thomas-Morse projects

[Jjr]

I found somewhere the information of a project called BP or Battle Plane.
Who has more information and maybe drawings of it?

Is thereany information concerning other, not build, projects of both these periods?

Presenting here (for the first time anywhere I believe) a fascinating 1919 project from Thomas-Morse, the Model C2 twin-boom push-pull cabin biplane. I'm attaching the photos from the blueprint for reference.

Some online auction a few years ago. When I find stuff like that I don't save the link because these are always temporary.
