The Cody Floatplane (also referred to as the Cody Hydro-biplane) was designed and built by Samuel Franklin Cody as an entrant in the 1913 Daily Mail Circuit of Britain race which offered a prize of £5000. On 7 August 1913 the aircraft suffered a structural failure during flight trials and both Cody and his passenger were killed.
