Wings of Glory: Breguet Br.14 B2 (Audinot/Hellouin de Cenival)

Description

The Breguet 14 was one of the best allround Allied two-seaters of the war, produced in large quantities for both recon and light bombing. It was the most common French two-seater in 1918 and was also used by USA and Belgium. This aircraft was widely used for both day and night bombing in the last year of the war. About 8000 were built before the war ended. Audinot and Hellouin de Cnival flew several bombing missions of Escadrille BR 127 from November 1917. They were shot down by enemy fighters during a daring mission, on March 28, 1918.
