Breguet Biplanes In Service August 1914

[Old Man]

I am intending to begin scratch-building an early Breguet biplane, and hope to be able to model one in use at and shortly after the start of the war.

I have the Swedish monograph on the U.1 type in hand, and several photographs of similar machines in service with Escadrille BR17 in 1913 at Dijon, among other materials.

However, I am not sure this is the type was in service a year later. My old Harleyford volumn has a capsule on the type, which indicates a version with two interplane struts per bay, rather than one, was in service then with BR17, and I have seen a drawing of this type designated A.G.4, but only a couple of photographs of it.

I understand also some Breguet machines were flown out of Paris at the time, and as one was flown by M. Breguet himself on a particularly fruitful reconnaisance, this also interests me as a possible subject.

I would greatly appreciate any light anyone could shed on this matter.
