Breguet's ID Challenge #700a

Breguet's ID Challenge #700a

As there has emerged some form of tradition to do a jigsaw puzzle at each full hundred, here is another one as the Breguet Challenge has actually reached #700.

So, welcome to another centenial jigsaw round! The rules have been standardized according to the workings of #500 and #600. There are 9 pieces that will be presented with an interval of about 12 hours. The pieces will be presented in no particular order or orientation. There is no time exclusion for the aces. The points will be awarded depending upon how many pieces are left before the answer is given and upon people's contributions. The normal Breguet rules (apart from the time penalty as stated) apply.

We have not had the best of luck with recent jigsaw puzzles, thus here we go. Have a good time resolving this one, but be warned it is very difficult.

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.

Hello,
i'd say it is an Albatros D.III.

Why ? Hmmm The small lower wing or what's visible of it - the form of the landing gear - the double "spring axle".

Of course i will be wrong, but hey - i often am !

Greetings,
Catfish

Catfish, you come in early, but no one can identify the machine on the picture just with 1/9th of the picture ... No Albatros here.

Cheers

[albatros1234]

that was my guess but not necessarily a dii . it definately looks like albatros landing gear and that could be an axial logo on the prop. but it could have been any albatros, DI,DII,DIII, or DV. but you say no albs so bring on the next pic.

The second picture of a total of nine. Seven to go.

Hello,

so no Albatros, eh ? Hm, in the first picture there is also some rectangular step visible, to mount the cockpit ? Could also be some other device for holding something, if it belongs to this bird at all.

If the first picture is made "in situ", it may be a very special plane for landing top-down underneath something, like a Zeppelin

Good luck all,
Kai

So many angles! Sure it's not a crashfile?

Perfect pristine machine here, no crash, you know it is against the strict Breguet's ID Challenge rules Luckily the picture was shot before the first flight of the machine, otherwise ...... it would not comply to those rules.

New part within 6 hours after now.....

Kees

[Varese2002]

Part three - six to go.



I think it is fair to allott 1 point to the man/woman (?) who is first with a complete and correct jigsaw.

There is another point for the man/woman who identifies the machine on the jigsaw puzzle correctly.

Have a good jigsaw

[Lodzermensch]

Hello,

The style of architecture visible in a background seems to point at Germany.
I think this is biplane with conventional lay out of two pairs of inter-plane struts. The shape of aileron is very distinctive. Maybe this is Rumpler Ru 6 A 5 aka Rumpler C.III.
