Previous Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

Quote:

The rules:
1. The thread title must be "Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge #......"
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '14-'18 period and be identifiable by the poster.
4. The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
5. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's -Aircraft Challenge* -- when in doubt !).
6. If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of an aircraft for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the aircraft is submitted.
7. Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they become an ACE. Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.
8. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
9. The first person to ID the challenge correctly gets to post the next challenge. If this can not be done for any reason Breguet himself will post the next challenge.
10. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
11. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules is BREGUET

No comers at all ! This posting is only to get it again in poll position.

This looks to me to be the Curtiss Model H Tractor Scout after having the ailerons moved from the trailing edge of the upper plane and the upper plane shortened. Recognized by the uncovered fuselage, between wing ailerons, and the 4 wheeled undercarriage. While this plane was built in 1913, it was one of only 2 planes being used by the US Signal Corps not condemned by Grover Loening in July of 1914. It was used extensively for training( being the only suitable aircraft), pilot and student seated side by side. It used the original Curtiss style control system.

Excellent, you are right on the spot. Full point to Mr. Sobrien.

Tork1945

Correct identification

Curtiss Model H Tractor Scout S.C. No.22 dating from 1913, but used for months in 1914. It is seen here in its second configuration with shortened upper wing and ailerons between the wings.

Those who want more information will have to consult (or buy) the study of Louis S. Casey. Curtiss, the Hammondsport Era 1907-1915.

Challenge #914 is in the hands of Mr. Sobrien

Tork1945 · 1 September 2011, 11:04 PM

Quite a few days have passed in dead silence, no Challenge #914 is probably upcoming by Mr Sobrien. Is this the unceremonious end of the Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge?

Not bloody likely. All the bases have been covered.

9. The first person to ID the challenge correctly gets to post the next challenge. If this can not be done for any reason Breguet himself will post the next challenge.

I expect this to go on until the Second Coming. Even then he might just join in ... predictably favoring to guess on the Hydravions; of that I haven't a doubt.

Cheers
