The Rules
1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner!
3. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
4. And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
5. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
6. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.

Hi Bruno
the cowlings of this twin look like a Letord 4 and those angular struts would fit as well

I will enter Gotha G IV.
Recognition features: engine cowling, propeller, engine exhaust and, last but not least, size.
Regards,
Yavor

Gotha engines look different to me. Closer resemblence to Friederichshafen GIII to my eye.

I am going with a Gotha G.V, because the engine nacelle appears to be suspended slightly above the lower wing and not flush with it as on the G.IV and G.III.
Still can't tell if it also may be an a/b model yet - still looking further.
But then, my eyes are always playing tricks on me......

Maybe G.Va 723/17, which came down in France in July, 1918?
These guys look French, and you can see the bottom of the gun tunnel on the fuselage section. I am not sure if that marking on the side just at the break line is the dragon marking or not that 723 had on it - but it kind of does resmble part of it, upside down.

With all those trees around I'm surprised we haven't heard from Fokker J yet!
