The rules :

The thread title must be "Breguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning and end of each thread so that we know where we are.
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.
The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified
(always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)
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.
To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.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.
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.
The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

This is the Boland tailess biplane at the Mineola fair grounds in 1914. It was designed by the Boland brothers and built by the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company of Avondale, New Jersey.

It did not have conventional controls. According to the Century of Flight web site
"The key to the Boland airplane's ease of handling and manoeuvrability was a patented system of lateral control long known to sailors, called a jib. Rudders, ailerons, and wing warping were not part of this design. Lateral control was provided by elliptically shaped surfaces, or jibs, mounted between the outer ends of the top and bottom wings. Each jib was pivoted on an oblique axis from the lower front strut to the upper rear strut and was movable inward, in one direction only. The operation was similar to steering an automobile: a control wheel was turned in the desired direction, the jib on that side was pulled in, and the aircraft banked and turned. Control in elevation was provided by a curved control surface located 14 feet in front of the wings. Moving the control column forward caused the craft to go downward, and vice versa."

Exactly, Sean. Glad to see a point for a non-ace. I think your description adequately satisfies Breguet's new rule.

Next challenge is yours.
