Breguet Chronicles,W.Wylam??

I was looking through Cross & Cockade International volume 33 number 1 from the year 2002 when I came across a full page ad stating the pending publication of William Wylam's new book, the Breguet Chronicles. Internet searches have turned up nothing. Was this book about the Breguet 14 ever published? If it was,where is it available?

No, it wasn't ever published, sad to say. The BEST book out there on the Breguet is Alan Toelle's from Albatros Productions.

What could have been can be seen in a preview of three pages published in WW1 Aero 172 (May 2001) p.124 - 126.

The Breguet 14 study of Wylam circulated already a long time, but it was perhaps way too ambitious for one man to write as he intended a 'complete' history of the machine till 1930. As countless nations used the machine and there were never ending modifications and new engines fitted, it was surely too extensive.
