Previous challenges: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* -- (In an effort to stamp out forum SPAM only members with 10 posts or more can post website links or email addresses.)
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.

“Анатра Д” трехмоторный, “Анатра ДЕ” / Anatra D three-engine, Anatra DE
Power was provided by the 140 hp Salmson water-cooled radial (tractor) and two Le Rhone 80 hp (pusher). Crew of four, three machine guns. Basic idea was to use all three engines on the ongoing leg and return back using single engine.
The aeroplane was overweight. It was damaged on landing on its maiden flight on June 23, 1916 (should be old style).
Regards,
Yavor

Hi Yavor. The damage of the Anatra DE on its first flight was such (broken tail, airscrews) that the machine was never repaired. The first flight on that day was also the last flight of the DE. Thereby just qualifying the machine for inclusion in the Breguet Challenge  .
The picture is the only picture of this machine I have ever seen.
Cheers
Kees

Hi Kees!
The picture is unique.
One should keep in mind how many errors are committed within V. B. Shavrov book three-view drawing of the aeroplane (3rd edition, figure 103).
Regards,
Yavor
P.S. Challenge #461 is coming soon!
