PREVIOUS CHALLENGES CAN BE FOUND HERE Breguet's Crash Files

And don't forget 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.

Bon jour Richard

the shape of the wing cut out make me think it is a late Alb B.II trainer with box radiator.

[Lodzermensch]

Hello,

Shape of center section struts, leading edge radiator, triangular cut-out in upper wing, gravity tank and interplane struts placed close to the leading edge make me think of Albatros B.II or C.I. I can not figure out a shape of rear cockpit, which could be a decisive feature. So, I bet on Albatros B.II – shape of upper wing cut-out looks like B.II rather than C.I.

Regards

Marek

[FOKKERJ]

Greetings Richard B,

by the looks of the claw brake me thinkst this may be an Albatros C.III.

I have been carving on a few C.III Albatrosse lately and this looks very familiar with the struts, fuselage/engine cowling, wing mounted radiator, trestle cabane strut arrangement, and general look.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

P.S. Yes, I saw the triangular center cut-out. I have also seen this on an Albatros C.III in the DATAFILE. I also believe that the engine has a lower profile than the B.I or the C.I.

[richard B]

After a so good grouped shooting ,I havelooked again my source ;

PLEASE FORGET ALBATROS .

Good luck

Richard

[YavorD]

My choice is Albatros B.IIa. It is late training machine with radiator in front of the upper wing.
Regards,
Yavor

"PLEASE FORGET ALBATROS." Really....

OK, The triangular center section cut-out could be from a later Rumpler B.I trainer with an updated wing mounted radiator.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

P.S. Don't trust your sources!

I like Yavor D's answer!

[richard B]

Hallo ,FokkerJ I begin to be worried about my source,but looking again it seems to be right ...
But ,believe me although german,it's neither an Albatros ...nor any B orC Type.

Good night

Hello Richard,

That doesn't rule out the Rumpler 4A.... Does it?

Good Night, FOKKERJ

[Lodzermensch]

Hello,

If this is not Albatros, not B. or C. type – what have left?

Maybe this is one of Gotha LD types.

Cheers

Marek
