Previous challenge list : * Breguet's 1914 - 1918 Aircraft id Challenge*

---------------------------------------------------

Bréguet's Rules

1. The thread title must be "Bréguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"

2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.

3. The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '14-'18 period and be identifiable by the poster.

4. The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).

5. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified

6. (always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)

7. If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of an aircraft for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the aircraft is submitted.

8. Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they become an ACE. Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

Very Good Gentlemen,
You have the timing down to the seconds.

The First Daimler Aircraft of the Challenge I believe.

Yes, it is the Daimler L9 , Congratulations to Richard B for the first Post.
This plane originally flew without the wing braces, as a cantillever wing.
Does anyone have a reference for a photo before the brace was added?

Perhaps Breguet can authorize a point for RBailey too, what do you think Breguet? This is becoming a habit for these guys to all clock in exactly 12 hours after.

For now, since his post is first, I will award 1 point to Richard B.
(and honorable mention to RBailey)

No points for second. I've lost (and won) a few others in the same way.
