Previous Breguet's Crash Files

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!
Offenders will be dealt with severely!

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


Joking will not be punished

Bonsoir à tous

Looking at the rounded fin ,flatsided fuselage ,cuved bottom fuselage , I would say it is a
W.K.F D I
designed by Ing Alfred Gassner in Austria and flown in 1918 .

[Flamingo]

Bonsoir Richard

Looking at your answer I would say it is wrong

[richard B]

The straight rudder edge did not fit .

This time looking only at the curved fin and straight rudder edge ,I would say :

Friedrichshafen D I
Cheers

same as above - sorry.

[Breguet]

How about something more common? Like an Austrian Aviatik DI - at least that is how I see the fin and rudder.

[Rbailey]

Aviatik 30.29, July 10 1918, Hptm Karl Nikitsch, who was not seriously injured - from Grosz and Haddow.

Rbailey,
you've got it!

Hello Breguet,

That was my guess too! I was 30 minutes after you. Nice try!

Hello Rbailey,

I couldn't figure out the difference between your answer and Breguet's, so I investigated, this what I found:

Aviatik (Berg) 30.27 & 29 - fighter

A good looking Rotary engine powered Aviatik D. type....I want one!

Quote:"Whereas all previous single-seat fighters designed by von Berg had utilised Austro-Daimler inline engines, the Aviatik 30.27 and the similar 30.29, which appeared early in 1918, were powered by the 160hp Steyr Le Rhone 11-cylinder rotary. Of wooden construction with plywood fuselage skinning, apart from the forward section which was covered by light metal panels, and fabric-covered wings, the Aviatik 30.27 and 30.29 each carried the standard twin-Schwarzlose gun armament, and were initially flown with two-bladed propellers. Subsequently, the original engine cowling (which left the lowest three cylinders exposed) was replaced by a full ring cowling, and the four-bladed Jaray propeller was adopted. Both participated in the July 1918 D-Contest, 30.29 crashing when the upper wing leading-edge collapsed as its pilot initiated a loop." Quote.

Congratulations to Rbailey and thanks to Flamingo for an interesting and educational challenge.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

[Breguet]

Thanks for all the extra info. I agree It's a nice looking craft!!
