The Rules:
The thread title must be "Bréguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
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.
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.
The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !).
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.
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.
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 arbiter in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

What I can see, are

it's a german plane
w/ 3 pairs of struts (I think you call this 3 bay)
quite rare, a double rudder outwards of the elevator (Doppel-Seitenleitwerk)
simple strut connecting the floats with the lower wing
traktor propeller
1 engine (I guess)

not sure as I never saw a picture of that plane, but it should be a Gotha WD 8, one was only built (Marine Nr. 476) acc. to Lange

Cheers, Marcus

THANK YOU BREGUET AND FOKKERJ
I AM VERY PROUD

And now ,about the #671 :

MAZE has got it:we will have a new ace soon ,I guess :
It will be then more difficult to him ; A serious training on the trigger will be useful

It's indeed the GOTHA WD 8 (1916)powered by a single 240 hp Maybach Mb-IVa.
It was a single engine version of the twin Daimler WD-7 of the same total power .
The WD-28 was a 1918 (unbuilt) project ,a WD-8 with 260 hp Daimler .

Richard, You are very welcome. : )

Just one question.... How come you guys don't get a little "GONG" after your name?

Example from the BCFC:

"32.55 RichardB ¤ "

Please fix "00.20 Paul_J._Fishe" to 00.20 Paul_J._Fisher.
I may be wrong, but I do believe that Paul is in bad need of an "R" on the tail of his Fishe!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, FOKKERJ

P.S. Congratulations to Herr Maze.

P.S.S. Oh ya, while you guys probably have a 1,000 more planes left to ID, we are running out of Winged Wreck Crash Fotos!

Varese2002 · 10 December 2009, 02:20 AM

I know this picture, but something special happens with the Marine nummer. On the picture it is 276 while it should have been 476. Probably a painting error, to led historians astray some hundred years later.

Kees

Obviously the party for your medal has had its impact
