Historical Information and Usage

The Nieuport 24bis is a French fighter aircraft, a development of the popular Nieuport line machines. It saw obligatory service in French colors, but also with Russian, Japanese, British (RFC/RNAS), and Italian air forces. Its greatest activity occurred during 1917–1918, which was the peak period of World War I. The design of the Nieuport 24bis was based on the proven sesquiplane layout, with an improved fuselage and tail assembly, as well as a characteristic, strongly contoured cowling for the rotary engine. The aircraft demonstrated excellent maneuverability, making it effective in dogfights as well as escort and reconnaissance missions.
