Kagero 5012 Nieuport 1-27 French Fighters Family EN/PL is a unique publication dedicated to all aviation history enthusiasts and modelers interested in French fighter aircraft from the First World War. The album, prepared by a team of experienced authors: Tomasz J. Kowalski, Kamil Trembacz, Filip Rząsa, and Edgar Liepinsh, is a comprehensive (88-page, A4 format) and bilingual (Polish-English) monograph devoted to the legendary Nieuport family aircraft, used mainly by the French Air Force but also by the air forces of Great Britain, Russia, Italy, and the United States.

The publication features unique archival photographs, colorful aircraft profiles, as well as thoroughly researched technical and historical descriptions. The Nieuport 1-27 models played a key role on the fronts of World War I during 1914-1918, forming the backbone of the Entente’s fighter units. Due to innovative construction solutions, such as semi-monocoque designs and excellent performance, the Nieuports quickly gained the recognition of fighter aces like Charles Nungesser and Georges Guynemer.
