Previous: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Breguet's Aircraft Challenge --

The rules :

•The thread title must be "Bréguet'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 !)
•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.
•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 an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. 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.
•The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

[AROTH]

Yes, it's so easy that I cannot figure it out........

British or French pusher in the right background, Nieuport 28 style ailerons on the lower wings only (at least to my old eyes) and I cannot really see more than one interplane strut per bay, although I can see what appears to be bracing wires for two struts (eyes again)....

I checked my French WWI Aircraft book and did not see any close matches....

Back to the books again......

[Dave_Kent]

Based on the 2 bay “I” struts, the B.A.J. C2

The 400s are gone!! wave7.gif

Dave is the winner. It is the Boncourt-Audenis-Jacob type IV built in 1918 powered by a 300 hp Hispano-Suiza 8Fb.

Now it's Breguet's turn to post the celebration challenge!

Appearently it was too easy as it lasted exactly 12 hours!

[AROTH]

Yep, it is the eyes.....I looked right at the picture with the plane photographed at a different angle and the identical matching hangars and trees in the background.

...there were others still stebbing in the dark.
(But evidently I´m not the one who sets the standard here)
