The rules:

1. The thread title must be "Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge #......"
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. 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.
4. The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
5. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* -- when in doubt !) and the poster re-post within the same thread, the 12hours handicap beginning from that point.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules is BREGUET.

No one yet?

So I will start a first attempt.


Oaky, we have a german-style biplane with ear-radiators and maybe a skid landing gear, wich might be dated into 1915/1916.

The wing section offers an overhang of the top wing in sqared shape including rectangular ailerons. Then there is no wing cou-out and I believe to make out a slight sweep.

That would fit to the Swiss Wild WT - Series.

Now the question is which one to pic?

The Wild WT-1 was part of challenge #397.

The Wild WT-1S differed in the engine (now 120hp Argus) and dual control only, and probably had no skids any more.

The Wild WTS was the first of that kind and initially built with side radiators. It could be a K&W built version from Thun, rahter a 1916/1917 than a post-war model.

I will opt for the latter one: Wild WTS

CONGRATULATION ! It's right .

The in Switzerland born Robert Wild worked before the War at Mulhouse/Alsace , (then in Germany) for Aviatik (since 1912) . At the beginning of the War he returned to Switzerland with the Aviatik P.25 biplane files ( The C-I )...
The Wild WT1 and WT1-S are closely related with this Aviatik .
The main external difference between WT-1 and the late WT-1S built at Thun are the UC-shock absorber says my source ( le fanatique de l'aviation No 105 , 1975)

The #1057 is for you .

Cheers

Richard

[Aquilius]

So a WT-1S...

Again I proved my ability to choose the wrong out of two.
But my eyes saw skids (which probably none actually had), not shock absorbers...


Thanks, for your kind judgement!


Will look for a new one.
