============================================ ========
After the war, Louis Breguet continued working for the advancement of aviation. French military aircraft had to rebuild the units of recognition, observation and light bombing, not only in its own territory but also in countries allied to the "small partnership": Yugoslavia, Poland and Romania, for the same reason, the work Breguet proved to be invaluable.
With the irreplaceable experience with Bréguet 14 , French industry was able to produce a new machine, aporvechando including the availability of new materials as duralumin, light alloys and high strength and new types of steel. Technical progress allowed, among other things, the provision of an infrastructure adapted to mass production and technical offices and workshops with engineers and skilled workers, formed during the war period.
remember that Louis Breguet planes never had an outstanding reputation for its beauty and simplicity of lines. In return, they were regarded as exceptional strength machines, including its good flying qualities. One was the Breguet 14 B2, biplane reconnaissance and bombing, which was built about 8,000 copies even after the war ended. It was definitely a lucky machine (which among other things he won the builder of a new award), and even had much success abroad. Units of this aircraft were used by the military aviations Brazil, China, Danish, English, Finnish, Greek, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Siamese, and Czechoslovakia. Some Breguet 14 B2 produced in the workshops to open the French manufacturer in Hanoi and Saigon were used in Indochina. And it would be a Bréguet 14 which, in November 1918 - led to the largest Spa Von Geyer, in charge of dealing with the armistice with the Allies.
These above is the genesis of Bréguet 19, all metal airplane in its general lines retained the experienced and the sesquiplane formula with a single large amount that connected the two wings (already hinted at changes to the atrophy of the lower plane, ie monoplane into the formula), and a fuselage with a form of good penetration.
The plane had other interesting features such as ease of disassembly of the main ingredients and the ability to build on an assembly line. To achieve this double goal, it was necessary to have adequate manufacturing facilities and create an infrastructure for production series. Bréguet signature was on the height of the known circumstances, prove it in a bright but's more than 2,000 built along Bréguet 19 that pace of production of over 4 units per days.
The Br 19, which was intended to replace the bomber and reconnaissance, Br 14, made his first public appearance at the Airshow in Paris in late 1921. By then, the plane had not flown since the test flights began in May 1922.
the Breguet 19 biplane was presented as a metal construction, especially strong, mixed-coated (cloth and metal) and simple structure.
wing configuration was similar to previous rates, with two duralumin spars with double T sections and ribs very light made in light alloy sheet embossed 4 / 10 mm thick (each rib did not exceed the 380 grams of weight). Each of the upper wing was equipped with ailerons. A similar structure presented both lower-wing greatly reduced, and the string and scale.
Each pair of wing was attached by a single metal stud and the cell completely lacking or tight connection cables between the tips of the pillars in the fuselage. Instead, there were two cables between each of the spindle wheel and corresponding lower wing. Arrow wing angle was 5 °, while the dihedral was 2 degrees.
The tail section was in a fixed horizontal stabilizer stabilizer, a statically and dynamically balanced elevator and rudder vertical drift, the latter also cleared.
The landing gear consisted of six legs of force linking the body to a horizontal rectangular frame. The shaft, attached to the frame in question by means of strings spring, carrying in each of its ends a round of 800 by 150 mm.
mounted engine in the first specimen was a 420-horsepower Renault and 16 cylinders, but was subsequently mounted a Lorraine-Dietrich 450 hp three cylinder banks online.
The Breguet 19 was exposed to minor structural modifications to the assembly of engines of different power. The inline engine versions were equipped with a retractable radiator located under the nose of the fuselage.
board facilities included a fixed machine gun synchronized (Vickers and Hotchkiss), a mobile mount with two guns for the observer (Located behind the pilot) and internal bomb rack, located in the fuselage, and also external, applied to the lower wing. Usually, the plane was equipped with equipment for the inhalation of oxygen, heating the cabin and radio transceiver.
During his 15 years of service, the aircraft was equipped with 19 engines, Lorraine-Dietrich 400 and 450 hp, Gnome-Rhône "Jupiter" of 420 and 480 hp, Renault 480, 500 and 550 horses, Hispano-Suiza of 450 and 500 hp, 500 hp Farman and Salmson 500 horsepower.
There were three basic versions, with 19 A.2 (two-seater observation and reconnaissance) on 19 B.2 (two-seat day and night bomber) and 19 GR (Grande Reconnaissance for recognition over long distances). All three were long used by French warplanes and several copies were exported to Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, China, Greece, Iran, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. Among others, the Breguet 19 was built under license in Belgium (about 150 copies, produced by the SABC), Gracia, Spain (130 per household), and the Ikarus of Yugoslavia (the first left Yugoslav Br.19 Kraljevo factory on 1 June 1930.
The Bréguet 19 began to disappear from the units first line from the second half of the thirties, although some of these aircraft (approximately 160) were still in the service of French aviation at 1 January 1936. Some foreign nations including those kept in service until 1940.

The new Breguet biplane successfully replaced, in the 20 - to 14 Bréguet oldest squadrons in the recognition and observation of the "Armée de I'Air" both in metropolitan France, divided into four main areas regions (for the time Metz, Paris Tours and Lyon), and overseas, the fifth air region, which included Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. Thanks to its characteristics of strength, the Breguet 19 had an important job in the military squadrons of France and abroad, demonstrating a machine is extremely flexible and easy maintenance. But since he was born as a military aircraft, the Br.19 owed much of its fame to a long series of feats and records of global resonance.
In expert hands of the French pilots were Bréguet aircraft, between 1924 and 1930 - the protagonists of exceptional feat in the skies around the world. After the first major air routes by the Bréguet 19, Pelletier-Doisy in 1924, the first world record for distance in a straight line was made by a Breguet 19. With an aircraft of this type Arrachart Lematre and covered the 3,166 kilometers between Paris of Villa Cisneros.
In 1926, other Bréguet 19 with 2,950 liters of fuel on board, they again covered with glory: and Dordilly flew Girier Paris to Omsk (4716 km), then landed costs and Rignot, without having done Djask scales-in after flying 5,396 miles and finally, the same apparatus was used by Challes and Weiser for the raid Paris-Bender-Abbas (5,200 miles).
In 1927, Major-Dagnaux Br.19 aboard a first-linking Paris to Madagascar overcoming the most severe weather conditions. After having flown over 13,000 km of barren land and had crossed the Mozambique Channel of 5,600 kilometers, finally landing in Antananarivo.
In June 1927, after Lindbergh's famous flight-costs Rignot and departed towards the East in the hope of reaching the city of Chita, in Manchuria, to 7,200 miles of country. The fuel supply was 3,500 liters and 19 Bréguet allowed the autonomy of 44 hours. The flight was interrupted in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Urals, but the great potential of the aircraft were definitively confirmed when in October, a crew of Le Brix and successfully faced costs for the first time the South Atlantic aboard a biplane named "Nungesser" et-Coli.
