The Br.19 (as it was called from 1928), was a big and rugged plane, and one of the most exported during the mid-wars period.
Bolivia aquired a total of 7, the first three equipped with the 450 HPLorraine engine,and delivered during the 1924-1926 period, and the other five delivered during 1927-1929, powered with the 520 HP Hispano-Suiza engine.
Two of the earlier batch were painted in the overall green french scheme, and the Bolivians christened them "Potosi", "La Paz" and "Oruro". "Oruro" was recieved in an overall shining silver dope scheme, but was lost due to a landing accident in 1927.

"Oruro II" was damaged during a crash landing during 1929 and provided spare parts for the others.
