Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer. •To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification. •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. •If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. 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. •The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet. |

Hi Dave
the wings and the tailplane look very Sopwith, and with a monocoque fuselage it should be one of two Snails (C4288 or C4289) built with such a fuselage. Engine was the ABC Wasp.

It is the Snail, an odd name for a fighter. Flamingo, you're up.

obligatory apology
Just to let y'all know...my domain (earlyaviator.com) in which resides the challenge enumeration is currently offline. This is temporary and should be cleared up within the next 24hrs. Simply a miscommunication between myself and my webspace admin, who happens to be my daughter...
Insert picture of Homer Simpson strangulating Bart here. Sorry for the inconvenience, Cheers Rod
