And the rules :
1. The thread title must be "Bréguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"

2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.

3. 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.

4. The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).

5. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified

6. (always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

I have a picture labelled Aviatik Seedoppeldecker with the centrla float and similat unequal span wings. I will submit that as a partial answer as I don't have anything more exact.

I have lost the picture too. To elaborate my quick reponse, there was an Aviatik P 18 Seedoppeldecker of 1914 that had a central float; that would be my suggestion.

This is the Friedrichshafen FF 15, one example was built in 1914. A pusher with 135 hp NAG 6-cylinder engine. Single float ('Zentralschwimmer') with two small flotation bags at wings end.
Extra stabilisation was done by the 'filling' of the tail booms.

The machine was flown in the 1914 Bodensee Wettbewerb.

Cheers

Kees
