Previous Challenges: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

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.

[Rbailey]

Aeromarine 40, from shape of upper wing.

"In flight near USS Hannibal (AG-1), 1923.
This aircraft was assigned to assist Hannibal in survey work in Cuban waters. Its Aircraft Record card states that it was converted to a Model 41 Type in about 1922."

[Varese2002]

Exactly, originally an Aeromarine Model 40-F flying boat US Navy serial A5066, which was one of a batch of 50 built and delivered after the war. During 1918 the US Navy ordered 200 machines (serials A-5040/5239) of which 150 (A-5090/5239) were cancelled directly at the end of the war.
The engine fitted was a Curtiss OXX-6 of 100 hp (pusher configuration). A certain quantity of Aeromarine 40-F's were upgraded to the Aeromarine Model 41 (inclusing A5066) which was fitted with a more powerfull Hispano-Suiza engine.

Aeromarine started immediately after the war with civil versions of the military Model 40-F, resulting in the Model 40-B, Model 40-C, Model 40-L, Model 40-T and Model 40-U most of them fitted with different engines. The idea was of course to retain the workforce AFAP.

Correct identification

Aeromarine Model 40-F (US Navy A-5066), re-engined in 1922 with an Hispano-Suiza engine 'elevating' the machine to a Model 41 (this version is seen on the picture)

The Aerofiles site does not mention the Aeromarine Model 41
