| NIEUPORT 28C1 (640 words) |
 | Amongst all of the Nieuport fighters that fought during WWI, the Nieuport 28C1 significantly differed from all of its predecessors. |
 | All of the Nieuport 28's predecessors were sesquiplanes rather than classic biplanes, due to the fact that their lower wing was considerably smaller than the upper one, both in wing span and chord. |
 | 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. |
