There are some doubts about the C.III indeed.

But all the C.Is had inversely tapering ailerons? That's why I said B.II.

Now I checked with DF 57 and 93. Some C.I had equal chord ailerons!

The front view clearly shows no curved lower wing cut-out!

The B.II had 8 complete rib spaces between cut-out and aileron and because of the different upper wing cut-out the C.I had only 7.

On this picture I count....7!

I really enjoyed having had this point - for a little while....

Hello All,

OK, We can call this one "Null & Void" or debate the identity of this machine in question.
Technically, I did not consider this a duplicate Challenge as the original challenge was one foto with the other added as a supplement after the challenge was officially started.

I am open to all suggestions and will wait to hear from Breguet.

Cheers, FOKKERJ

P.S. I will adjust my last Scoreboard back to the beginning for now.

And, please, look carefully at the previous challenges, to avoid duplicates ....
Breguet's Crash Files ; )


The Rules :

1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
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. 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!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. 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!
6. 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.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.


I submit the following for your educational and entertainment purposes only:



HAPPY HUNTING, FOKKERJ

Bonsoir
I don't know much about those B+C Albatros ;
Only one question :
The C I had those outer wing struts very close from the lower wing end.
Had some CIII the same ???

Greetings

Richard

My EXTREME Appologies to Rod Filan for giving the correct answer on:

Breguet's Crash File #42 I'm sure!

Unless it is actually a C.Ia or B.IIa!

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

GOSH!!!

I will get a ban again!

Richard,

Every C.III in pictures I have seen had the same wide space between outer struts and a wingtip.


So long!

Marek
