Societe des Avions Louis Breguet

<...>
  The first Breguet fixed-wing plane was built in 1908. The Breguet 1 flew in June of that year, it was a biplane which employed wing-warping for control and had a biplane tail with twin rudders. Power was initially supplied by a 50-hp Renault engine, and in August 1910 the Breguet 1 set a record by carrying six persons. The Societe des Avions Louis Breguet was formed the next year.

    On the Breguet machine the main planes are pivoted to serve the purpose of an elevator, the tail is exceptionally large, and the propeller is placed in front, which is an unusual position on biplanes.
