Breguet's Crash File #76
Well, I can offer you this one. Unlike more recent offerings, you can see most of this machine, although it is not a machine you see much of.
Standings at the start of #76 are: 10.7 Rbailey 07.05 YavorD 06.4 Gregvan 05.5 Breguet 05.5 Fokkerj Feuchtwanger 04.5 Gilles 04.0 Edmond 04.0 Eric 04.0 Ross 02.0 Dan_San 02.0 Expositor 02.0 Patrick 01.8 Tom L 01.3 Varese2002 01.0 Berman 01.0 Cruze 01.0 ONEALM 01.0 PaulForster 01.0 Pvernon 01.0 Rod Filan 01.0 Troy Raines 00.75 Der Grüne Flieger 00.2 Crankcase |

It looks like an overweight Eindekker
 but I'm thinking with that fuselage and tailplane it might just be an unfortunate Siemens Forssman (Final Version) that first flew in Sept 1915 and was, believe it or not, accepted by Idflieg in April 1916 albeit for training purposes only!

It is the SSW Forssman R plane, but the first version, not the second. Nosed over after a rare hop. Not that you could tell the difference from this picture, as changes were mainly in the nose. The second version was flown, with great difficulty and high risk, so that SSW could get some payment for their work. but eventually wound up breaking its back during an engine run-up. A point to Breguet, so scores are now :
