Biplane Breguet Escadrille Level Observer Swan Symbol Bomber
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Breguet Bre 14B.2 bomber of Escadrille BR 111 in a low-level flight during the First World War. Dating back to circa 1916-1918, this biplane was a significant military aircraft of its time, contributing to the French aviation efforts during the Great War. The distinctive white swan symbol on the side of the plane identifies it as belonging to Escadrille BR 111, one of the French air squadrons that played a crucial role in the war. The Breguet Bre 14B.2 was a two-seater reconnaissance and bomber aircraft, designed to carry out various missions, including dropping bombs on enemy targets and gathering intelligence. In this image, the observer, seated in the rear cockpit, scans the ground below for potential targets, while the pilot focuses on maintaining a low altitude to evade enemy anti-aircraft fire. The plane's open cockpit and biplane configuration are characteristic of the era, showcasing the ingenuity and determination of early aviators. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of the brave men and machines that took to the skies during the First World War. The Breguet Bre 14B.2, with its distinctive white swan emblem, stands as a testament to the courage and resilience of the French military aviation during this pivotal period in history.
