| Description | Brequet 14 a2
The prototype Breguet AV 1 first flew on 21 November 1916. The first order for 150 Breguet 14 A2s was received on 6 March 1917 and the first units were equipped in August 1917. 14 A2 was the reconnaissance version, while B2 was the bomber, other versions were B1 single seated bomber, E2 trainer, S ambulance, H float plane, C2 two seated fighter and T civil passenger aircraft. A2 denotes Corps d'Armée two seater.
Italian Fiat engines were utilised due to the shortage of the original Renault 12F engines. 24 out of 71 French Breguet 14 escadrilles used the Fiat engined version during WW1, as well as Belgian Aviation Militaire Belge and the U.S. Air Service. All Finnish aircraft had Fiat engines.
The production of Breguet 14 continued until 1926, by which time over 8000 aircraft had been built. War time orders of some 5500 aircraft were spread to several manufacturers.
14 A2 could carry four 120 mm (10 kg, also 12,5 kg bombs used in Finland) bombs, a camera and a wireless transmitter. It had dual controls for the observer. Armament consisted of one synchronised fixed Vickers machine gun for the pilot and twin TO3 ring mounted Lewis (L.M.G. in Finland?) machine guns for the observer. Machine guns and the ring mounting were not always installed in Finnish aircraft, sometimes the observer had only a single mg. Michelin bomb racks were located under the lower wing, just outboard of the inner interplane struts.
