Форум Breguet's Aircraft Challenge

Vlaicu 3, Romanian, 1913. An all-metal machine designed and partially built by Aurel Vlaicu before he was killed trying to fly over the Carpathian Mountains in the Vlaicu 2. Friends completed it, and it flew (a little) in 1914.
   In 1916 during the German occupation of Bucharest, Vlaicu III was seized and shipped to Germany. The airplane was last seen in a 1942 aviation exhibition in Berlin.
