How about a Caproni Ca 1 (military designation) or Ca 31 (company designation). With Gnome engines.

O.K., It's not even close!

I think I'm getting a headache!

Hello to all

Sorry not to have answered earlier
Breguet is right.This plane is a CE.P.1 B2 ( Ca.1)
(CEP because Licence built by Caproni -Esnault -Pelterie)
It was a heavy bomber with two crew, a single 130-hp Canton-Unné mounted as a Pusher and two 80-hp le rhône Engines


It belonged to the squadron CEP 115 and was piloted by the Adjudant Cartault during the crash
( Cartauld carried out more than 100 missions of night bombardments)


The Caproni crashed when it was taking off and has that moment ,transported 400 liters of essence and 400 kilos of bombs. it collided the ground in full speed, and by magic, nothing had burnt and nothing had exploded! The cowling of The rhone at right-made a quarter of tour with the engine which turned itself in ground

Here is Adjudant Cartault in front of his Caproni before the crash
