         Used throughout the war, the innovative Breguet Br.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 Br.14 saw service as a 
         reconnaissance aircraft, a day/night bomber and an air ambulance. This 
         was one of the best bombers the French used. It was produced up until 
         1926.
