This aircraft marked a breakthrough in the history of military aviation and played a key role during aerial battles on the Western Front.

The Nieuport 11 Bébé is a small, single-seat, biplane fighter developed in 1915 in France by the Nieuport company. The plane officially entered service in 1916 and was operated by the air forces of France, Italy, Russia, Belgium, and Great Britain. It earned pilots’ recognition for its maneuverability and excellent performance at low and medium altitudes. The Nieuport 11 became famous during the intensive air combats of the so-called "Fokker Scourge," effectively countering the Fokker Eindecker monoplanes. It was used mainly in the years 1916–1917, during World War I, and its presence coincided with the dawn of air combat tactics and the formation of legendary fighter aces.
