Previous challenges:
Breguet's 1919-1939 Aircraft ID Challenge

The all-important rules:

1.The thread title must be "Breguet's 1919 - 1939 Aircraft ID Challenge #......" AND must be placed in the Non-WWI Aviation sub-Forum.
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 '1919-1939 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 1919 - 1939* -* 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 gotten 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

My idea is that we are looking in a far eastern country, most likely Japan or China.

The machine is the first product of Kawanishi, which was a mail plane identified as the K-1, dating from 1921.
It distinctive looks like the large spinner, streamlined fuselage, radiator (placing), two-bay wing are characteristic. It is said that it was based on design features of the USA firm L-W-F Engineering.
