Breguet's pre-1914 ID Challenge # 102

[Doc]

OK, here is one which may be a little more well-known than the recent challenges. I am honestly not sure whether this photo is of the actual aircraft or of a model of it-- the machine did exist, and so did models of it.

I think it may be from a country we haven't explored previously. Information on the influence and importance of the inventor would be appreciated-- He was NOT all that obscure. Have fun! Doc

The rules of engagement:

1. The thread title must be "Bréguet's Pre-1914 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 flying object must have been dreamt up before 1914 (no limit backwards in time ....).
4. There are no limits to the flying object for the pre-1914 series. There is no ruling that it must be flown, or completely built.
5. Machines which exist only as 'paper', that is absolutely no material has been cut to construct it, are excluded from this ID Challenge
6. The picture / drawing must show as much of the flying object as possible, but views showing the machine 'incomplete' are possible (with discretion).
7. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified.
8. If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of a flying object for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the object is submitted.
9. Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they belong to the ROYALTY. Once they belong to the ROYALTY they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.
10. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
11. 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.
12. If a ROYALTY 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.
13. The final arbitrator in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

Did a response too soon!! Answer deleted.

[aerohydro]

Mouillard's Glider #4, dating from 1878, photographed in Cairo, Egypt.

Quite recognizable due to the unusual position it was photographed in, ie in a courtyard, with its tail elevated up against a wall. BTW, the photo is of a full sized machine, not a model.

More information can be found here.

Cheers,

Well, I thought that one would last longer! Guess I need to get more obscure in the future. Aerohydro has it! and the honor of posting the next challenge. Doc
