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. 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!

3. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.

4. 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!

5. 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.

6. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet

Hi Breguet

I would say William Barker in a Sopwith Snipe.
The top decking and front fuselage look very Sopwith and the face has some similarity with a photo of Barker.

I thought this would prove a bit easy but it is such an historic photo.

I wonder what was going on in his mind as he sat in the plane that he nearly died in? VC or no it must have stirred some mixed emotions for him.

1 and next challenge for RichardB and .5 for Flamingo.
