The Breguet 14 was one of the best allround Allied two-seaters of the war, produced in large quantities for both recon and light bombing. It was the most common French two-seater in 1918 and was also used by USA and Belgium. This aircraft was widely used for both day and night bombing in the last year of the war. About 8000 were built before the war ended. Gilbert Stanley and H.T. Folger belonged to the 96th Squadron, that operated from June 12, 1918 to the end of the war engaging in daring bombing missions across the front.
