Bonjour Mssr. Bruno,
It most certainly looks like a D.F.W. V! See BCFC 30 @ Breguet's Crash Files http://www.earlyaviator.com/br.crash...30a_DFW.CV.jpg I thought that this fotograf looked familiar! HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ  P.S. What do I win?

Hello Bruno,
Although I was 100% sure on the first foto, I am not on this one, it does look very familiar. HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

That's very funny!  Because that answer was my third choice, the first two were a Sopwith and a Bristol!  I decided it was too late to go back and change my original answer. The foto feels like 1917 to me, that's the feeling I get from it. Dolphins weren't operational 'til 1918 and would be less likely to see a crash foto of one. I won't mention which Bristol that it reminds me of since I'm only allowed one answer per host visit. I will say that there's enough ailerons and or an elevator visible to say that it could fit the Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. That's my final answer for now! HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

Jay YOU ARE THE BEST
Even I who posted the photo was incapable to determine that it was a 1/2 strutter! The plane was a victim of Leutnant von Bertrab and belonged to RFC N°45 squadron on 6 April 1917-Serial number A2381 World War I Aircraft Serial Numbers - The Aerodrome - Aces and Aircraft of World War I The photo was extracted out of the excellent !! book "The Imperial German eagles in WW1-their postcards and pictures" (a Shiffer military book) by our well known co- forumist Lance J.Bronnenkant Jay its up to you now Scoreboard at the end of # 281 34.3 FOKKERJ Feuchtwanger 27.0 Froggy 26.3 Rbailey 19.60 Breguet 16.15 YavorD 12.3 Flamingo 09.75 Aquilius 08.0 ONEALM 07.6 Rod_Filan 07.9 Gregvan 07.3 Varese2002 06.2 Richard B 05.75 Ross 05.5 Expositor 05.5 Gilles 05.15 AROTH 05.0 Dan_San 05.0 Kilian 04.7 Jeroplan 04.0 Edmond 04.0 Eric 04.0 Laserlloyd 03.5 sergio_vitalio 03.3 PaulForster 03.2 Colin A Owers 03.0 Crimso 03.0 Patrick 02.7 Tbstreet 02.2 Crankcase 02.0 Cruze 02.0 Rickenbaron 01.8 gregorydquist 01.8 Tom L 01.5 Nieuport 14 01.25 Ransom E.

Hello Bruno,
Thank you for your kind words. I think the "BEST" are our Member Authors that know these fotografs by heart and rather than dominate this Challenge let us escargots educate ourselves trying to figure out what in the HELL we are looking at! Thanks for the good challenge.  As you know, the problem with hosting this is that one cannot advance one's score!  I will dredge out an identifiable wreck and post it later. HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ P.S. I checked, this foto has not been used before in the BCFC!
