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

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.

Drat! Aerofiles has the same picture (only much clearer) as the type N. Hence my confusion. Ah, well.
