 NIEUPORT 28C1
Amongst all of the Nieuport fighters that fought during WWI, the Nieuport 28C1 significantly differed from all of its predecessors.
All of the Nieuport 28's predecessors were sesquiplanes rather than classic biplanes, due to the fact that their lower wing was considerably smaller than the upper one, both in wing span and chord.
In March 1918, 297 machines of the Nieuport 28C1 type were transferred to the 94th and 95th Aero Squadrons and shortly afterwards began to fight against the enemy.

The Nieuport 28 was the first airplane flown in combat by pilots of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. Pilots from the 94th Aero Squadron (the "Hat-in- the-Ring" Squadron) made the first US operational flights across the front lines in France on March 19, 1918.
The Nieuport 28 was also flown by the 27th, 95th, and 103d Aero Squadrons.
When the AEF arrived in France, the US obtained more than 850 examples of the Nieuport 17, 21, 23, 24, and 27 as training aircraft, which was fortunate, as all of these were underpowered and would not have fared well in combat.

 The Pioneers : An Anthology : Édouard (1875-1911) and Charles (c.1875-1913) de Nié Port (Nieuport)
The Nieuport Aircraft Co., Société Anonyme Des Établissements Nieuport, one of the early pioneering aircraft firms of the early 19th century, was founded by Édouard de Nieuport at Issy-Les-Moulinaux in 1910.
All the Nieuport sesquiplane designs followed French constructional methods in vogue during the early part of W.W.I. The fuselage was a rectangular section girder, diagonally braced with wire, with steel plate socket joints and wiring plates.
Thus, the primary significance of the Nieuport 28 for the national aeronautical collection is that it was the first type to carry American colors into combat in organized American units, under American command, in support of American troops, as well as the first type to score an aerial victory with such an American unit.

The lower wing was much smaller in area than the upper wing and the concept combined the strength of the biplanes wire braced wing cell with the stability and good visibility of the parasol monoplane.
In essence the fuselage of the pre-war racing monoplane married to the new concept in wing cell design the Nieuport 10 was the progenitor of the entire "Vee-strut" family.
Conceived as a two seat general purpose aircraft the Nieuports debut coincided with the appearance of the Fokker scourge.

His early Nieuport II (that's a roman numeral two, not the later famous type eleven), flown at Rheims in July 1910, was judged by many as the best in the show.
His Nieuport IV-G, flown for the Italian Army Air Corps in North Africa by Capitano Moizo, made, on October 24, 1911, the second-ever reconnaisance flight by a military aeroplane, and perhaps the first bombing run.
Although Edouard was killed in a flying accident on 15th September 1911, and his brother Charles de Nié Port, who continued the work, died in a crash landing barely a year later on 24 January, 1913, Eduard's designs continued to be built by the company and licensed for production internationally.

Rejected by the French and British air services, the Nieuport 28 was the first biplane fighter received in large numbers by squadrons of the United States Air Service.
A favorite with aces like Harold Hartney, it was fast and maneuverable but had a tendency to shed its upper wing fabric if its pilot pulled out of a steep dive too quickly.
The Nieuport 28 was replaced by the less maneuverable SPAD XIII.

 The Pioneers : An Anthology : Leon et Robert Morane and Raymond Saulnier
An original aircraft (landversion) is on display at Musée de l'Air in Paris and a number of airworthy replicas exist in France and elsewhere.
Re-equipping of Nieuport escadrilles with the new Morane-Saulnier began in January, 1918, and the plane was used by French, Belgian, and American forces.
Subsequent developments of the Type N were all inferior to the Nieuport, so that the bulk of the Morane-Saulnier aircrafts built during 1916 were reconnaissance types.
