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

Greetings Joachim,

This may be a Rumpler C.VIII. The wing tips, horizontal stabilizer, nose, and propeller location look good. It was an operational training aircraft.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

It could be a Rumpler C.I, I'll have to research this more.

I went off to have a "Look-See"!

I think that it is a C.I!

Too much Kriek?

Hello,

It looks like Aviatic C.I - different span of lower and upper wings and the shape of brackets support the center of upper wing.

Greetings

Wow, I thought this to be fairly easy but eight - five hours and only two wrong answers...

Well, at least you have narrowed it down to German two-seaters...

It may well be an L.V.G. C.II, the wing spans and shape look like a good match, also the tail-plane. I think I see a cylindrical gravity fuel tank suspended under the upper wing. The radiator could have been wiped off during impact.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ
