Re: Photo Nieuport

Admittedly I have huge problems to first of all understand the Nieuport company and their intricate tries to improve their various models again and again in tiny steps, making at least me having huge problems in identifying them correctly.

However, I have always thought that the aircraft with the rounded fuselage and rounded fin (early version) was the straight Nieuport 24 while the retrograde design which reverted to the squarish fin was the 24bis.

Thus you have two photos showing the rounded fin (straightforward type 24) and one photo showing the square fin (thus type 24bis).

Cheers
Stig
