The Nieuport 28 America's First Fighter

From the beginning of World War I, American trained fighter pilots entering combat were equipped with the Nieuport 28. This plane was the first combat fighter flown by American aces such as Eddie Rickenbacker, as he gained skills and confidence at the beginning of his aerial career. This book contains the complete history of the Nieuport 28, from the drawing room table through combat service in WWI, and beyond. Over 400 photographs, detailed maps, pilot reports and technical drawings are all contained within its pages. This book is not only excellent for fans of the plane itself and history buffs, but provides an incredible reference for those who are building models of the aircraft.
