Hi Rbailey, It screams Rumpler to me! Thanks, FOKKERJ

[Der Grüne Flieger]

It's a Krieger-Eindecker

[Dave_Kent]

I think Phil is on this one, the Krieger KK 5 ‘Parasol’.

Dave

[Rod_Filan]

Looks like Phil has it.
Cheers

Does anyone know what's the tube that comes up from the bottom of the fuse and seems to connect to the motor??

Phil

[Der Grüne Flieger]

It's such a strange looking hose and to come up from between the wheels,...

[Rbailey]

My first thought was exhaust pipe, but there are other odd looking features that show up when you play with the contrast.

However, Der Grune Flieger basically got it as a Krieger Eindecker, but Dave got which one (I think that is the proper designation, but mostly I just see 1915 eindecker). There must have been more than one Krieger Eindecker, as it is reported that Krieger got his pilot's licence in 1911 on an eindecker that he had built. I have not been able to find out anything about spacifications or performance of this machine, or about other Krieger machines, so if anyone has information I would be interested.

So far as points are concerned, I will give Phil .8; Dave .2.

The source of the KK 5 designation is TAUBE: DOVE OF WAR. No details on dimensions or performance are provided. Reference is also made to the KK 1 and KK 2, both traditional mid wing monoplanes, not Taubes. There was also a KK 3 and KK 4 Taube.
