In 1917, the first troops of the American Expeditionary Force arrived in
France during World War I.
These Nieuport model airplanes show the history of World War 1. These Nieuport World War 1 aircraft also supply you with very good pictures or World War 1 aircraft and weapons. If you are looking up information about the World War 1 Planes, check the bottom of the page for History Notes on the Nieuport World War Plane. On about October 12th, 2007, I heard that there were less than 500 World War 1 Veterans still alive. Edouard Nieuport, 1875-1911. Pommier, details the brilliant engineering solutions that Nieuport applied to cycling and automobiles before turning to aircraft. His brother Charles and the company bearing their name - which at one time lead the world in aircraft production. The first airplane designed to be a fighter, the Nieuport 11 - nicknamed "Baby" by the pilots who thought it was small and cute - defined the cutting edge of military aviation in 1916 and was largely responsible for ending the "Fokker Scourge." The Nieuport was Eddie Rickenbacker's favorite fighter. The French Nieuport company provided Allied forces with the first true fighter of World War I. Flown by French, British, Russian, Belgian, and Italian aces, the XI was replaced in 1916 by the even more popular XII. Americans flew a final variant, the Nie.28, in 1918.

Accurately portraying the thrill and danger of
aerial dogfights like no movie before, this, the first
World War I aviation film in more than 30 years, was inspired by the epic tale
of the young American men who became known as the Lafayette Escadrille -
ordinary boys who volunteered for the First World War looking for adventure and,
in the process, became heroes. DVD includes deleted scenes, an inside
look at the special effects, and more. Widescreen, DTS Surround Sound, Rated
PG-13, 2 hrs. 20 min.
Price: $14.95
From the Webmaster: This was a fantastic Movie. The effects and story were super excellent and I highly recommend that everyone see this movie. It was great. I watched it at the Century Theater in Anchorage Alaska, October 2006. |

Nieuport History Research Note Briefs. Edouard
Nieuport, 1875-1911. Pommier. This biography details the
brilliant engineering solutions that Nieuport applied to
cycling and automobiles before turning to aircraft.
His brother Charles and the
company bearing their name - which at one time lead the
world in aircraft production. The first airplane designed to be a fighter, the Nieuport 11 - nicknamed "Baby" by the pilots who thought it was small and cute - defined the cutting edge of military aviation in 1916 and was largely responsible for ending the "Fokker Scourge." The Royal Flying Corps' top-scoring WWI ace was Billy Bishop, a Canadian, who scored 72 victories. Awarded the Victoria Cross, he was the first pilot to surpass the record of famed British Ace Albert Ball. America's first ace, Raoul Lufbery, flew this Nieuport 17 to his fifth aerial victory when, returning from an escort mission over Oberndorf on October 12, 1916, he downed a Roland C.II. 26 American aces including Maj. Gen. "Boots" Blesse, Brig. Gen. David Lee "Tex" Hill, and Brig. Gen. Steve Ritchie.
On June 23, 1916, Victor Chapman - flying a Nieuport
16 as a member of the famed Lafayette Escadrille - finds himself alone against
five German Eindeckers and quickly becomes the first U.S. airman to lose his
life in World War I combat.
