EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Nieuport Ni 28 single-seat fighter undergoing development during the pivotal years of World War I. The Nieuport Ni 28, first flown in June 1917, was a significant addition to the arsenals of the American Expeditionary Forces, making its debut in early 1918. In this image, we see a development machine of the Nieuport Ni 28, distinguishable by its dihedral on the upper wings only and a smaller gap between the top wing and the fuselage. The biplane design, with its two sets of wings arranged in a V-shape, was a common configuration for fighter aircraft during this era. The Nieuport Ni 28 was a formidable machine, boasting a top speed of 113 mph and an impressive climb rate of over 1,500 feet per minute. Its powerful Hispano-Suiza engine provided the power needed to outmaneuver enemy planes and secure vital air superiority. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of aviation during the First World War, a time when innovation and determination drove the development of cutting-edge technology. The Nieuport Ni 28, with its distinctive design and impressive capabilities, played a crucial role in the aerial battles that shaped the outcome of the war. As we observe this development machine on the ground, we are transported back in time, witnessing the relentless pursuit of progress and the indomitable spirit of those who took to the skies to defend their nations.
