Previous challenges are to find : Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

And don't forget 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.

Based on the distinctive mounting of the fuselage on the top wing, the low position of the lower wing, with the engines, this is the Gotha-Ursinus U.W.D.

[AROTH]

Allegedly easy, except for that upside down tail section - did someone hit that with Photoshop?

I say it is the GOTHA URSINUS U.W.D. G.I, seaplane version of the Gotha Ursinus G.U.H. G.1.

-Engines mounted on the lower wing in very close proximity to each other

-Fuselage attached to the top wing

-Floats

This may be No.120, the only example built of the seaplane version - except my pictures show No.120 with the tail section mounted to the fuselage in the traditional upright position.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....

[Lodzermensch]

Hello,

To be more precise:

This is Gotha UWD (Ursinus Wasser Doppeldecker) Marinenummer 120 because of raised fuselage lay-out and engines fixed to lower wings. I think that the picture shows the plane in its initial form – it is shortly after the aircraft was built in December 1915. Tail section is characteristic feature of this form – double rudder looks like mounted upside down. Besides, this floatplane had highly varnished finish of the fuselage. Only one example was built. It was written off on 2nd October 1916.

Marek
