	Nieuport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nieuport is a French aeroplane company famous for racers before World War I (WWI) and fighter aircraft during WWI and between the wars.
		Nieuport's own internal designation system also labelled it as a type 'B' (for biplane - there had been a Nieuport 11 monoplane in 1914), with the result that it was written down as the 11 BB - or as pronounced in French - bebe or baby.
		The Nieuport 28 was bypassed by the French as they had already chosen the almost identically performing S.P.A.D. XIII by the time it had flown, and the Nieuport 28 didn't offer enough of an advantage to counterbalance the impact on production.

	Osprey - Hunters of the Air: Nieuport and Albatros Aces of World War 1
		One of the first RFC squadrons to use the Nieuport Scout as a fighter was No.11 and, as the Germans had done with the Eindeckers, this unit had a few Nieuports attached as fighting machines.
		While the Nieuport Scout pilots were often able to hold their own in combat situations, the RFC nevertheless lost 43 during April and the French 12.
		The famous American volunteer escadrille, N124 Lafayette, also flew Nieuports in 1916-17, and when the Americans came into the war, their first fighting machines were the Nieuport 28 fighters, made famous by Edward Rickenbacker, Douglas Campbell and James Meissner.

	Nieuport 28
		Thus, the primary significance of the Nieuport 28 for the national aeronautical collection is that it was the first fighter aircraft to serve with an American fighter unit under American command and in support of U.S. troops.
		The fuselage of the Nieuport is probably from one of the four Garland Lincoln airplanes used in the film.
		Moreover, the Nieuport 28 type is in the national collection primarily because of its place in U.S. air operations during World War I, not because of its minor role as a post-war trainer.

	WW1 1918 historical timeline for 1st Fighter Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Comparative tests 'were made between Spads and Nieuports to determine their suitability for use by 1st Pursuit Group in an effort to maintain barrage patrols along the Marne against enemy low flying aircraft.
		In the confusion both pilots had apparently opened their throttles and the machine guns in Captain Marr's plane opened fire, An explosion of ammunition in the carrying cases in Captain Marr's airplane set fire to the plane and it was completely demolished.
		On landing after being ferried from Langley, one of the airplanes was completely demolished when the undercarriage sank in the mud of one of the various holes on the flying field.

		The Nieuport moved up on the Fokker to shoot it down when suddenly, the pilot waved to Udet and withdrew from the fight.
		He got on the tail of one of the Nieuports and shot it down.

	Nieuport Triplane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		During the height of the Nieuport Sesquiplane Debacle during mid 1916, the French authorities decided they had to do something about the almost Fokker Fodder that the Nieuport family of aircraft had become.
		Flying over the lines was forbidden based on the fact that with the Nieuport 17’s operational ceiling of 3000 ft and extreme structural problems enemies were to be avoided, “if you weren’t shot down French pilots had to suffer the insult of watching there foes fall about the sky laughing” was one pilots comment.
		The problems that plagued the Nieuport 11’s and then 17’s started to become public and with the switch from Pups to Sopwith Triplanes it was impossible to hide the fact that most successful Nieuport Escadrilles were in fact flying Sopwiths.

	Czechoslovakian Nieuports
		Coverage of relatively minor post-ww1 airforces such as that of the Czech Republic are comparitively rare, and especially ones that cover a single type, such as the Nieuport.
		The 33 photographs included are extremely interesting, especially to a rabid Nieuport fanatic such as myself.
		Only a few types are represented, coverage being concentrated on the scouts, especially the Nie.17 and Nie.21, but this is no doubt due at least partly to their greater numbers.

	The Nieuport 28 Page
		The distinctive V-struts associated with Nieuports earlier models were replaced with parallel struts and the wing tips were elliptical in contrast to the angular wing tips of it's predecessors.
		Althought the Nieuport 28's performance was an improvement over that of it's predecssors, it was regarded as inferior to the Spad XIII with which the French Air Service was largely equiped.
		Twelve of the Army Nieuports were transfered to the US Navy which equipped them with hydro vanes to prevent a nose over in the event of a water landing and wing floatation gear.

	No. 1588: Nieuport 17
		The Nieuport 17 appeared a year later, and, for a while, it seemed to have leveled the playing field.
		By 1917 it was doing such damage to the Allies that the French, in desperation, tried to build a three-winged version of the Nieuport 17.
		But the early design that may've come closest to the final form was that neat Nieuport 17, the airplane my father never had to ride into combat.

	Part 2: Hanriot HD.1 in Foreign Service
		It was just too late to compete with the Nieuports that formed the backbone of French fighter aviation in the first years of the war.
		The Hanriot was marginally faster, had a considerable higher ceiling, and enjoyed a generally sounder and more robust structure, uncompromised by the single-spar lower wing of Nieuport’s sesquiplane layout.
		Together with Nieuport 28s, Thomas-Morse S4s, and a few Camels, these were used as experimental shipboard aircraft.

		Three of them were British, and they were all pusher aircraft – the Gun Bus, the FE2b, and the DH2.
		Many of these pilots were concentrated in a famous squadron, the Cigognes (Storks), and the aces Navarre, Nungesser and Guynemer, all flying Nieuports, became household names.
		It was not just the aircraft themselves that returned control of the air to the Allies.

	Fighting the Flying Circus
		In the meantime we had lost a number of pilots on the flimsy Nieuports, not by reason of their breaking up in air but because the pilots who handled them feared to put them into essential maneuvers which they were unable to stand.
		Consequently our pilots on Nieuports could not always obtain a favorable position over an enemy nor safely escape from a dangerous situation.
		The Spads were staunch and strong and could easily outdive the Nieuports.

		Generally speaking the ROTEC R-2800 is not too heavy for the Nieuport 11 (7/8 scale) but it is a little too much power.
		We have had the factory test an 84 inch diameter prop, running the engine at 2700 and the prop at 1800 rpm.
		The 7/8 Nieuport 11 wasn’t designed for more than about 50 horse, and requires absolute control if a more powerful engine is used.

		Built side by side, these two models - one a Nieuport 16c kit from Toko, the other a Nieuport 17c from Esci of Italy took me only a couple of weeks to complete, which for me is fast...
		The 16c - the green one - is another easy kit from Toko, although the rear undercarriage legs are too long; the struts are of varying length and the cowling is a poor fit.
		Anyway, both models were rigged with my trusty elastic thread and superglue and look fine on the (now) overcrowded shelves above the computer.

		The Nieuports carried no insignias on fuselage (Ukrainian personnel used new insignia like overpaint of original insignias of supplier and DUX Nieuports caried fuselage insignia very rarely - much usual were assorted individual paintings).
