No 'perhaps' about it!
Breguet 14 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Bri PM'd me with the answer a few days back, so as to leave the challenge open for a while.)
Over to Mel.

Next Challenge

Thanks stevef, when I saw that someone had PM'd you with the answer I guessed that it would have been Bri. It was a great challenge and a very interesting aircraft.
Here is the next one, a nice easy one for Sunday afternoon.

No takers? I thought this one would be easy and there would be no lag in getting the answer.

Hi Aviate1138 - No, not from Shorts. Stevef got the nationality right. This was a transport landplane.

I still think it is a Curtis Condor, though the pictures I've seen show circular wheels, not with the segment missing.

Aviate1138 has it, the Budd RB-1 (C-93) Conestoga. The all-stainless-steel ship. It was cancelled before it could prove itself.
