Previous challenges : Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

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.

Have a good hunt!

Hello Aquilius,

Where can we find the picture?

Hi,

Sorry for the previous question. There is something wrong with my internet. I can not see any attached picture. It is interesting.

Cheers

I'm sorry Marek, I don't know what this may cause.
If you are also interested in the picture, here is a direct link:

Hopefully you can work it out soon.


Cheers

I have not had any problem seeing the picture. Identifying it is another matter.

[Rbailey]

I find a Dehan flugzeug from 1910 - same picture, upturned wingtips on a sleek looking monoplane. Did it fly in 1914?

By the way, it is Swiss.

...so you found the source I have the picture from.

Just I was not asking for the "Dehan Flugzeug".
I think you know, I probably would have retouched the name from the rudder if this was all to find out.

Actually I do not even know who is this "Dehan" and what he had to do with this aircraft. He maybe bought or sponsored it.


Then this aircraft appeared much later than 1910.
Have a close look - does it look like a 1910-design?

And I have it flown into 1915.


Keep looking!

Aquilius

[Rbailey]

Aquilius - I figured that Dehan was not the actual identity, especially when the source said designer unknown. Since they got the year wrong, is the nationality (Swiss) right?

Particularly.

[Rbailey]

There was a Swiss monoplane by G. Cailler with a swallow-like appearance and upturned wingtips - not sure of the year, but I think it was built well before 1915.
