Breguet's Aircraft Challenge #120

Breguet's Aircraft Challenge #120

After the watery adventure of the Beese-Boutard Flugboot we go back to landborn flying. This is a fading picture but the machine can be clearly seen. The full point needs a complete and exact name of manufacturer and designation.

An USA design, probably. May be Thomas?

Jeez Louise Kees! That is a toughie. Without Colin's pointer I had no idea where to begin.

It's a Curtiss Type N, Army Trainer of 1914 with tandem communal cockpits. Very unstable and not accepted I believe. The N was combined with the Model J trainer to become the JN, leading to the JN-4 Jenny.

Wow. I didn't realize the next Challenge was up.

Curtiss R-2. 1915 2-place powered by a 160hp Curtiss V-X

Cheers

The Curtiss machine in the picture is not the R-2

The Curtiss Type N is not on the picture. By the way eight of the Model N's were ordered, but only one was accepted.
