Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge # 381

Look at precedent breguet's challenge:Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Breguet's Aircraft Challenge --


"The Rules" :

The thread title must be "Breguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning and end of each thread so that we know where we are.
The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '14-'18 period and be identifiable by the poster.
The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (check always the list of Rod Filan when in doubt !)
Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they become an ACE. Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.
The first person to ID the challenge correctly gets to post the next challenge. If this can not be done for any reason Breguet himself will post the next challenge.
The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

It is the U,S.Army Burgess I (the letter, not the number) which my source says crashed in the Philipines in January 1915 after a year used for training in observation, artillery spotting (coastal defense) and wireless transmission and receiving. Engine in fuselage driving two outboard propellers. In Aerofiles and some other places it is reported as destroyed in 1913, but that appears to be incorrect considering its later history.

Here is a better picture: http://www.earlyaviator.com/archive/...gessI.nagl.jpg

Yours now, Dave.
