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

Hello,

I think it's Siememns-Schuckert R.VI bomber, built by Zeppelin Staaken or licenced - by Albatros,Aviatik or Schutte Lanz. There is typical strut wich supports one of two tractor propellers operated by a chain and gear system - three engines were housed within the fuselage.

Greetings

Marek

I think it's the Siemens-Schuckert R.I on the flatcar after passing the Spandau fortress.
