Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge #1406

[Aquilius]

Welcome to another round of Breguet's endless aircraft challenge!

It becomes already difficult to find suitable pictures that are not immediately to find in the web.
I better should prepare one before typing an answer...

Well, this is not a very good one but fits the time frame.
(and may keep you busy )

Scoreboard after Challenge #1405:

William Cook 1917 flying boat (boat no. 4)
aka Davenport Flying Boat.

Previous Challenges: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=63611

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 2views 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. In cases where the arbitrator's game answer is in question the decision rests with the current leader of the table.

Good luck!

[Rbailey]

Föhn eindecker; the tail, especially the shape of the vertical tail surfaces, is the key. Built 1912-13 but flying in 1914.

[Aquilius]

Rbailey is of course right! The monoplane of the Föhn Flugzeugwerke, Berlin-Johannisthal, here pictured with Albert Colombo in the Cockpit at the Herbstflugwoche in 1913.


There are vague speculations if Gustav Raschke and his fellow Zieske were the founders of Föhn, or had designed the Föhn monoplane.
What is known is they had rented the same shed at Johannisthal, after the Föhn company moved to Sorau, East of Cottbus (today Żary, Poland) in the fall of 1913.

One fact supporting these rumors is this photo with both pictured in that machine.

Raschke the pilot, Zieske as passenger

But the challenge picture appeared in Flugsport, Oktober 1913.
So full score and next challenge to Rbailey.
