Used throughout the war, the innovative Breguet 14 was a highly successful biplane used by the French, Belgian and American air services. Designed by Louis Breguet in 1916, it was one of the first aircraft constructed with duralumin in the airframe. Rugged and versatile, it was mass produced in several variations, including a seaplane model. Before the end of the war, the Breguet 14 saw service as a reconnaissance aircraft, a day/night bomber and an air ambulance.
