The rules of engagement:

1. The thread title must be "Breguet'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.

[Rbailey]

Westdeutsche Piloten Schule (WPS) eindecker, slim tubular fuselage with under-wing seating, shape of rudder (which would have WPS on it if not photoshopped off) are characteristic. There was a 1912 machine with aluminum tube fuselage; this seems to be the 1913 version with a plywood fuselage; it looks awfully frail.

[Varese2002]

The Westdeutsche Piloten-Schule (W.P.S.) Eindecker. Can be distinguished by its Grade like construction where the pilot sits under the wing. Very small fuselage which holds only the tail and the tailskid. W.P.S. was located since 1913 in Krefeld.

The revealing abbreviation W.P.S. has been carefully photoshopped from the tail

Commentary added later
I just could not make it to come out of bed in the middle of the night 04:32 AM, but as I had already prepared this one I have sent it in nevertheless.

Temporary grief with the earlyaviator.com domain so I've set up a mirror site for the Challenge list at: Breguet's Pre-1914 Aircraft Challenge

Please update the link when posting #113 Ron. Thanks.

Posting time is always bad for some parts of the world!

Rbailey got it right, photoshop did not help.
