The Bréguet Type III was a French biplane aircraft designed and built by Louis Bréguet in 1910. It was one of the earliest successful aircraft designs in France and played an important role in the development of aviation during the early years of the 20th century.

The Bréguet Type III had a simple design, with a wooden frame covered in fabric, and was powered by a 50 horsepower Gnome rotary engine. It had a wingspan of 13 meters and a length of 8 meters. The aircraft was capable of a top speed of around 85 kilometers per hour and could fly for up to an hour.

The Type III was widely used for both military and civilian purposes in the years leading up to World War I. It was used for reconnaissance and artillery spotting by the French Army and saw action in the Balkan Wars and World War I. It was also used by several airlines for passenger transport, including the French airline Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes.

In total, more than 1,500 Bréguet Type III aircraft were produced between 1910 and 1916, making it one of the most successful aircraft designs of its time. The aircraft’s success helped establish Louis Bréguet as one of the leading figures in the early years of aviation and contributed to the rapid development of aviation technology during this period.
