Breguet Br.19

Breguet. 19 stories

Designed and manufactured in France, the Breguet Br. 19 is considered the successor to the stellar Br. Br. 19. 14 model series and developed in parallel with Br. 14. It continued to share many of the same design qualities as its earlier wartime cousin, but with a greater focus on aerodynamics. The line is powered by 2 Lorraine-Dietrich 12D/E or Renault 12K engines.

The first flight took place in March 1922.

The aircraft is equipped with a traditional biplane wing layout with built-in I-pillars. The upper wing section spanned much more than the lower wing, and the arms ranged from three to four. 303-inch machine gun. The fixed-wheel landing gear consists of two main legs with a large number of reinforcing elements.

The design was intended for use as a day bomber and was approved to carry over 1,500 pounds of ammunition.

The

Br. 19 served in France's colonial wars with Syria and Morocco in the 1920s and continued to serve on the front lines until being relegated to training service in 1934. Approximately 2,700 copies of the series were produced.

Foreign operators outside of France eventually went from Argentina and Belgium to Venezuela and Yugoslavia. Some are used as passenger transport in civil airspace.
