[WWI] Breguet Biplanes, August 1914: Seeking Information

[Napier Colonel]

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, including of course this site's archive
photographs.

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.
