__NOTOC__ The Levasseur PL.14 was a torpedo bomber seaplane developed in France in the late 1920s.〔Taylor 1989, 575〕 It was essentially similar to Levasseur's PL.7 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft with the addition of pontoons. The design dispensed with the small underwing floats that formed part of the safety equipment of Levasseur's carrier-based aircraft of the period, but retained the boat-like fuselage.〔World Aircraft Information Files, File 900 Sheet 06〕 The wing was built to the 18.00-metre design originally developed for the PL.7 but ultimately rejected in favour of a shorter wing. Thirty PL.14s were purchased to equip the seaplane base at Berre.〔 When the PL.7s were grounded in 1931, PL.14s were equipped with wheeled undercarriage and put aboard the carrier ''Béarn'' in their place. Even after the PL.7s' return to service, four wheeled PL.14s remained aboard from 1935-37.〔 ==Units using this aircraft== ; * Aéronavale * * Escadrille 7B2 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Levasseur PL.14」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
