Previous: Breguet's 1939-1945 Aircraft Challenge

The Rules (revised 14 July 2012):

1. The thread title must be "Breguet's 1939-1945 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 '39-'45 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 Aeroplanes1939 - 1945* -* Breguet -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 6 hrs after the original post. When someone becomes a DOUBLE ACE (10 or more points) the must wait 12 hrs after the original post to ID the aircraft
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.

It is European, though you may have already guessed that.

I have a sneaking suspicion it is German - for all the good that does me.

[Dave_Kent]

actually, not German

that should help some

[Rbailey]

I was looking at the occupied countries. Looks a little like some of the Morane parasols, but I can't get a match,

[Dave_Kent]

Not a Morane

[YavorD]

After couple of hints and looking on the form of the parasol wing, a RWD-8 primary trainer (Polish air force 1934/39).
I am not able to make difference between PWS and DWL built machines

Yavor

[Dave_Kent]

Yavor is right!!

This is a PWS built RWD-8, one of about a dozen to enter Luftwaffe service. RWD-8s remained in use in Romania and Hungary for several years after the SWW.

Point & 149 to Yavoe..
