It is the Goudou-LeSeurre 1C1. Its wing struts were redesigned improving the wing structural strength and redesignaed G.L.S.2C1. It was powered with the Hispano-Suiza 8Ab 180 hp engine. The U.S.Air Service was very interested in the G.L.S.2 C1. It was planed to be purchased by the U.S.A.S. powered with the Wright-Martin Model E 180 hp engine. Had the war continued into 1919 several of the U.S.A.S. pursuit squadrons would have been equipped the the G.L.S.2C1 monoplane fighter.

Dan-San is of course dead right, but we have had this one already in Challenge # 220 here.

With all the aircraft we've had it is amazing this doesn't happen more often!

Has it been 24 hours yet? It looks like a one wingged Spad to me....

Didn't you make this comment last time this aircraft was up or is this just deja vu?

Well it appears I've royally messed this up.

My source showed the plane as a Goudou-LeSeurre Type A, not a 1C1 or C1. It now appears that the designation "Type A" and the "1C1" are just a matter of semantics. So yes, this plane was already done on Challenge 220.

Dan-San while you were perfectly correct, I was not. My apologies. This challenge is scrubbed and we will start fresh. What I have done to stop this from happening again is to download the past challenge list to a word document, then I search it to see if my next challenge has already been use. Should help a bit.

You don't know! Do you?

P.S. Good catch though.... You deserve a cookie!

I challenge the replies on #220. the proper designations were not given. I should at least get credit here, I had the correct SFA designation also on 220 and I was not credited there.

Breguet, Rod, Yavor & Kees,

Help please. How do you want to handle this? I'm not sure of the protocol in situations like this.
