Breguet Aircraft Challenge #166

Breguet Aircraft Challenge # 166



I checked the Breguet rules:The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference). Confirmed: although this is a hazy old picture, this is the aircraft as a whole.

Even if the photo is really fuzy, I think that it is a Lioré et Olivier LeO 7.

Greetings

Ponnier P.I?

Engines, wing tips and landing gear looks about right but the fuselage and tail is sufficiently fuzzy to leave (considerable) doubt.

Effectively, it was an other possibility, but the struts are different. On the Ponnier P.I you have only a single bay between the wing tip and the engine, here you have two bays.

This is not a Ponnier, it is not even French This is by the way the only picture I have ever seen of this machine, albeit a bit fuzzy. I have done no electronic retouching

OK, I was about to say Aviatik 30.04, but I know of 2 photos of it and 1 of 30.12. So, this must be the Aviatik 30.13.

Hello Kees,

I donn't tell you why, but for me, it had a French flavour. It was my best guess, but now, I'm totally blind.

Greetings
