Breguet XIV
The Breguet XIV (in contemporary practice) or Breguet 14 is a French biplane bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of World War I. It was built in very large numbers and production continued for many years after the end of the war. The Breguet 14 was among the first mass-produced aircraft to use large amounts of aluminium, rather than wood or steel, in its structure. This allowed the airframe to be both lighter and stronger, making the aircraft fast and agile, and it was able to outrun some contemporary fighters. Development Background The Breguet 14 was designed by aviation pioneer and aeronautical engineer Louis Breguet.Bruce and Noel 1967, p. 3. Breguet had already built a reputation for producing capable aircraft and for having innovative ideas, including the use of metal in aircraft construction.
