Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

Quote:
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 (always check the list at Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's -Aircraft Challenge* -- when in doubt !).
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules is BREGUET

You will not believe me, but Breguet Challenge #47 has this one already. I realize this is already about 4 years ago, December 16, 2006 - time flies

Thank you Kees, but I wasn't here yet.... Does that count?

Please tell me what this is, I have a miserable time trying to research the Archives since some things changed.

I don't know if all of my fotografs are correctly labled or not, so I don't always have good results when I check these.

What was Challenge #47's prize name?

Thank you, Jay

P.S. If this has been done already I will throw another one out soon.

[FOKKERJ]

Thanks Kees,

OK, I found it with the simple information available:

Dornier V 1 [Zeppelin-Lindau V 1]



It's half past sleepy time here!

Cheers, Jay aka FOKKERJ

Here we go with a new start time:

I believe we have a WINNER!!!!

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT!

This is indeed a good sign.
Nobody has disputed the virginity of this image for challenge purposes yet!

Cheers, FOKKERJ

Hello Jay,

Looks like Zeppelin-Lindau (Dornier) C.II judging by wings shape, tail shape, observer's post and upper wing cut-out.

Hello Marek,

I was beginning to think that nobody wanted to play!

Zeppelin-Lindau (Dornier) C.II?

I don't know, I'll have to look.
I've handled so many fotografs of rare and unusual aeroplanes lately that I can't remember.

Good news is that you may be right....
Bad news is that my fotos don't all have an accurate description on the back.

Cheers, Jay aka FOKKERJ

Whew, That was a close one!

You sure had me worried that I had mindlessly picked two "Mystery Machines" (M-n-M's)
by the same maker in a row.
Dodged a bullet that time !

My limited reference says ABSOLUTELY NOT!

If you have substantial evidence/facts to refute this, please prove it.
My reference could be wrong.

Best Wishes, Jay aka FOKKERJ

P.S. Try again!

[Varese2002]

It is daylight again here

This is the Daimler L 8 a two-seat fighter produced in 1918 as a single prototype. Machine can be distinguished by the following features:

- radiator built in the top wing
- single bay wing
- flat side and top fuselage, plywood covering
- front part of the fuselage metal covered
- form of the rudder
- straight continuous elevator (no split in between), fitted in the midst of the tapering fuselage

A rare piece, fine picture, neve seen this one.
