Hi! BD-3 display model and additional information.
"The Burgess Company Burgess–Dunne Model BD–3 was a swept wing tailless pusher biplane. It was ordered in March 1913 for the U.S. Army and delivered on December 30, 1914. It was a two place, tandem, had a crew nacelle and was land and sea capable. It was armored with chrome steel plate.

It was powered by a Salmson B 9 cyl 120 hp radial water cooled engine with a maximum speed of 75mph and a climb rate of 300–350 fpm. The only one built had a span of 47', height 10'11" and a length of 24'8". Its empty weight was 1700 lbs and gross weight was 2140/2300 lbs.

Two Model BD–3's were originally ordered – Serial # 36 and #136. #136 was cancelled. Serial #36 was delivered to San Diego, California. In the spring of 1915 floats were removed and wheels installed – the BD #36 was then assigned to the U.S. Army Coast Artillery for fire control support.

The U.S. Army Serial #36 was dropped from active service on October 18, 1916"

I can see vertical radiators at the both sides of the fuselage.
