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. 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. 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!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. 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!
6. 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.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.


For those who are tired of exhaustive searching for the answer in ID Challenge No 600, I offer something relatively easy and relaxing.



Good Luck!!!

With that cut-out and the shorter wings I'll take a punt and say a Friedrichshafen GII.

Greetings Marek,

Although my esteemed friend Breguet is probably right, I will say aileron, wing cut-out, and fuselage shape look like the Friedrichshafen GIII.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

Hello,

Well, it was not too difficult. The correct answer is Friedrichshafen G.II of course.

Jay,

One can say – “a bay too short”. Sorry.
