Re: Photo Nieuport
I have long since given up myself trying to ID the WW 1 Nieuports and only do it in a sort of general average way.
Even having a photo showing the SFA number, it can still be tricky since we also have to deal with the high numbered Nieuport trainers, ie type 80 - 83. With the Americans buying up huge number of French aircraft a good rule is to check Casari, if possible, and in this case we are lucky. No 7072 was a Nieuport 83E2 actually acquired by the Americans. Another good rule seems to be that these trainers look very old and have high SFA serial numbers, for example all the American type 80-83 were in the range No 7038 - 10653. Actually why SFA gave so "small" batch orders to these various Nieuport models is another mystery, at least to me. Within the range 7038 - 10653 are intermixed Nieuport 24, 24bis, 24E1, 24bisE1, 27, 27E1, 28A and even a single type 21 (No 7001) Cheers Stig
