I haven't a photo of this aircraft but I have to take a shot at it to get back into the game. I wasn't even paying attention for the first dozen or so!

Siemens-Schuckert D.VI

Parasol monoplane fighter 1919. Later designated the E.I ?

Ryan and Rod, you are off the mark. I admit this one is very difficult. Of course you see here a one-and-only machine on the only known picture that is available

I was thinking SS DVI too but the strutts are quite wrong.

Thats not all that looked wrong.. the stab/rudder looks more like it belongs on a Pfaltz and there's no head fairing to speak of that I would expect to see. I can't stop imagining a 160 h.p. bi-rotary under that cowl though. Only known photo eh? This is a tough one.

[Paul Forster]

Halberstadt something or other.

[EricGoedkoop]

I'm with Rod - looks a lot like a Pfalz to me. I'd be tempted to say it's a parasol conversion of the D.VIII, but I've never heard of such a thing . . . . .
