To avoid duplicates ,please look at :
Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

By the way ,I did so ,but they are so many...

Don't forget the Rules
The thread title must be "Bréguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
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.
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.
The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !).
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.
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.
To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
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.
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.
The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

[Varese2002]

This is the only built Albatros Flugboot designed by Marinebaurat Wahl and Dipl.-Ing. Karl Rösner. The engine (100 hp Daimler) was placed in the flying boat hull, driving the two-bladed pusher propeller via a chain. Machine was completely of wood.
The Flugboot was tested in January 1914, but the machine failed in seaworthiness. Although the flying performance was adequate, devlopment was not persued given the bad seaworthiness. This ended the single Albatros adventure in Flugbote
Further identifying items are the unequal span wings, the bracing at the end at about 45 degrees and the big gap between upper and lower wing. The top wng had a small V-format, but that is difficult to see on this picture.

Thank you Richard for keeping Kees so busy over here that he forgets all about us other guys on the other challenge.

Now for the Bad News:

There's only so many "Crash Fotos", Some of us have come to the conclusion that we have nearly exhausted all of the Winged Wreck Fotografs in existence!

Gotta Go, FOKKERJ Feuchtwanger

No way, Jay!
There should be about 100,000 wreks of the period with a corresponding number of pictures

Yavor
