Roden 403 Nieuport 28 1:48 |
|||
|
The Nieuport 28C1 satisfied contemporary fighter requirements, however, its use by the French Air Service ended shortly after it began: the test flights of the Spad 13C1 took place and this aircraft was recommended as the sole standard fighter for the French Air Force.
The career of the Nieuport 28C1 should have been over; however history decided otherwise. After entering the war, the United States of America did not have its own air force and one had to be hastily created by means of purchasing the necessary military equipment from its allies. 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.
