You're learning Theis. I've enjoyed your efforts so far as you've chosen some interesting types. ;)

I have no idea what this is so I'm going to take a wild guess. Sopwith Bat.

The floatplane is at the Danish Aviation Museum at Elsinore, and is probably one of the "hand built floatplanes", which leads me to believe that it's a one-off, another proof of Danish aviation ingenuity...

Donnet-Leveque Hydroaeroplane?

I'm going to have to agree. It's either from 1912 or 1913.

Found this page, it's got some interesting photos.

Maagen 2 was used in RDAF as recon and school plane
for private donations (43.000DKR) that was used to buy two french flying boats. in 1913 they got the name "maagen" and "ternen" and was used in training for pilots in the danish marines. in sep. 1914 there were renamed to "maagen 1" and "maagen 2". "maagen 1" was destroyed in a crash in 1914 and "maagen 2" crashed in sep.1915. after WW2 it was rebuild and is now on Teknisk museum  (Tecnical Museum) in helsingor,Denmark
