Previous Breguet's Crash Files

Rules:
1. All aircraft are of the 1914-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
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. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in it's identification.
5. And whoever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. 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.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet. In cases where the arbitrator's game answer is in question the decision rests with the current leader of the table.

I'm not bitting on this one. Still have to find something postable that is in one piece! Nice pic, though.

Since nobody else is stepping up, I'll give it a shot... but I'm not positive as to which of a couple it is. I note that John thinks it is an easy one... haha

The most distinctive feature is the "kinked" aileron. That is a feature of the LVG B-types... as is the downward-sloping upper longeron on the fuselage. Here is where it gets more difficult: I'm "eyeballing" the relative size of the people in the photo and what I can see of the engine vs. the rest of the airframe, and it appears to me to be the smaller variant, which would be the LVG B.II.

Hello everybody

this is an LVG B.II, more differences to the larger B.I are upper wing cut out, rear cockpit aft of cabane, forward fuselage sides are of wood, not metal and end in vertical line.

The picture is from a very nice German site about aviation in Cologne:

Hi Brad,

Almost any photo is an easy one for John! He seems to know almost every detail of almost any aeroplane. You're right about the "kinked" aileron. It is a very unusual method of obtaining washout, and as you said it is seen on LVG B types. I don't recall seeing it on any other type of aeroplane. I didn't notice this feature until you pointed it out, although when I clicked on the link to enlarge the photo I could see this distinctive feature very clearly.

Well done Brad!

Well... actually the LVG C types also had that... but they are armed.
