I would say Airco DH-9 because of the straight upper longeron, tapering metal covers and the struts and nose seem to fit.

Hello,

I think, the sequence of the first two positions should be changed.

Congratulations to Flamingo.

Regards

Marek

Greetings Rexee,

Thanks for a great challenge.
I have taken the liberty to correct the Scoreboard and changed the
"Scoreboard at the end of # 495 - Albatros D.III (OAW):"

I have also added back the url for the ROSEBUD site:

"Previous Breguet's Crash Files" and also the RULES!

It is an honor to correct this minor discrepancy, and a few others, in honor of our new "ACE of Aces", the Flamingo aka Joachim.

Congratulations to Joachim and long may you reign.

Of course Lodzermensch, aka Marek, may have his sights on your new position as he has demonstrated his skills in a very short time.

I believe that I was at the top for a little more than a year and I must admit that it never really sunk into my thick skull until near the end what an honor and priviledge it was and is to hold this title amongst such a skilled and talented group of people that we have participating here on this international challenge to identify fotografs of "Winged Wrecks".

A special Danke to Herr Hellwig for starting these challenges.

I have also added a 2nd " ¤ " to the score of anyone that has recieved an "Oak Cluster" to their B. le M., "Breguet le Merit".

This should be incentive enough for all of you "Gong Hunters" out there

Previous Breguet's Crash Files

The Rules

All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ Feuchtwanger
