looking closer at the tail:fin ,rudder +high tailplane ,this could be an Halberstadt CL IV

Hello Flamingo,

This is a fun one!

Albatros C.XII. Scalloped trailing edge, balanced rudder, center section cut-out, and horizontal stabilizer.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

Where's AROTH?
I keep waiting to see him correctly answer this challenge.

Did I forget to mention the roundy aft fuselage?

Bonsoir à tous

Triangular shape of the upper wing cut out,rudder and fin let me think that this plane could be a Dutch Spyker-trompenburg two seater training biplane
A 3 d drawing and photos of this not well known plane can be seen in Jane's

Hello Flamingo,

The puzzle piece that you have submitted clearly is the fin from a Fokker D.VII!

I hope this solves part of the puzzle, FOKKERJ

Hello Bruno,

I hope that you are right!


The only real clue that I found early on was this "Lookatthepicnotthefilename".

The location of the horizontal stabilizer is above center-line, which rules out most to all of the German machines that I have researched. The lack of camouflage and markings hasn't helped. May be a prototype! I thought that it may be a Pale Blue overall, because there doesn't appear to be a pigmented varnish on what should be a wood veneered fuselage. The nationality of the uniforms is a mystery to me. This style of scalloped trailing edge is predominantly used on German machines and also Austro-Hungarian and Italian aeroplanes.
Austro-Hungarian and Italian designs usually have a basic rectangular or triangular aft fuselage shape to usually more complex.

What ever it is I hope that we can see a before foto of this model machine.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

I am really surprised that AROTH hasn't seized this opportunity to show up the double digit aces!

As everybody is flying in the wrong direction some more help:



I could not resist the temptation to post a triangle as the first help!

[AROTH]

Well, that will certainly set things on the right path !
