Talk:Breguet Type III

The Cloud of Unknowing
Yes, I know what I've added is sketchy in the extreme, and contradicts what was there. The Breguet III is well described in the 15 June 1910 issue of l'Aeronaut, which is accessable online but unfortunately only (unless I am missing a trick, which is probable) as a massive thousand-odd page download from the Smithsonian. There seems to be an almost complete lack of decent published material on French aircraft of this period published in the UK. I have been looking. The only book I've come across is the thick end of fifty smackers and not in any library I have access to. The article was so incomplete anything has to be an improvement. Aircraft illustratedis certainly not a Type III. (This is one of those rare early aircraft that does seem to hve been given a type number at birth, tho of course the Breguet I is sometimes called the III, because of the two helicopter/semi helicoter aircraft that precede it.) I will be back (promises, promises)TheLongTone (talk) 21:30, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * information relation to completely diferent aircraft blown away.The referenced aircraft is not quite as described, and I am in the dark about the IV & V, which I suspect to be slight variants produced during 1910. Certainly by 1911 there is a new type, th machine with a mid gap previously described here. For which there is a very sketchy article. Flight call it the L-1, & I have half written the article, which material I'll drop in. Later, when I have enough to do something that vaguely resembles an article.TheLongTone (talk) 22:21, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
