Breguet's Crash file #9
No more Mr. Nice Guy! What do you lot make of this then? (If you don't think there is enough to make an ID let me know).

Biplane, squarish, slightly raked wing tips, ailerons on top plane only, no national insignia except colored panels on wing tips (Italian? - Austrian should have two panels), clear doped wings -- suggestive of early machine. What appears to be the remains of the fuselage looks peculiarly undamaged - monocoque construction? No idea what it is.

If the debris in front of the "fuselage" is part of the rudder, and if Ransom is on the right track for flyingboat, I would guess Macchi M type - maybe 7. but not everything is consistent.
On the other hand, if the sailors are American, an American operated M8 had a fatal crash.in Italy - but probably would have had US insignia. Last edited by Rbailey; 3 April 2007 at 05:39 PM. |

No, it didn't have US insignia and yes it is the M8. Well done!
