Форум Breguet's Aircraft Challenge

Six machines were ordered in 1918 and built for the french .
   A first group of three was built in 1919.
   The machines were fitted out with 3 x 340 hp Panhard-Levassor 12Cb, but because of the poor reliability of the engines the second group, built in 1921, was fitted out with 3 x 350 hp Sunbeam Cossack.
   The propellers were all four bladed (see following picture).
   The six machines were used at the CAM of Cherbourg (CAM : Centre d'Aviation Maritime) and next by the escadrille H103.
