Previous Breguet's Crash Files

The Rules
1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
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. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. 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.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.


Here is the challenge




Good Luck !!!

Greetings Marek,

The cantilever wing, radiator and cowl, horizontal tailplane's shape and upper location with the turtle-deck, and the rudder and fin remind me of the Fokker D.VII.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

Not a big deal. I accidentally stumbled across this crashfile with only one minute left, saw that Jay was lurking, and hoped to jump the queue. Funny thing is I typed and sent on the 59th minute but the post time was :01. WTG FokkerJ

Now Rod, I haven't been lurking here enough lately.

I figured when I came back here that I would be someone's Nr.1 Wingman!

Thanks for the "WTG FokkerJ".

Hi Marek,

Thanks for the great crash fotograf.
We had a door to door salesman come to our home last year, he was from Latvia or Estonia.... Don't get many around here. I did enjoy talking with him, he was working his way through Colledge. Work here in the Summer and go back home to school.
With all of the Fokkers out there you think there would be more crash fotos of them.

Yes the Maxim Spandaus do perform rather nicely with a little proper attention and a boat load of luck!

I am just happy that I was not competing with you and others that have clocks synchronised to the nano-second! : (

I'm glad that I know my Fokkers!

I will be back.........and post a new thread later.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ
