Re: Photo Nieuport
Well Clint
Actually I didn't bother to look at the British Nieuport. Just checked my French and US (Casari) sources. I have no idea how the SFA or Nieuport worked with their order/deliveries. I just can't believe SFA ordered their aircraft in such a complete mess/disorder. It is more likely that Nieuport, for some reason, was allowed to deliver the ordered aircraft in the terrible mix up we are now facing. Neither can I understand why SFA and Aviation Militaire allowed Nieuport to waste time and Government money developing all those incredible amount of different types whose performance improvement was basically none.... I take it you still don't have Casari's book? I can scan the relevant Nieuport pages for you if you like. If interested send me an e-mail. I have the same one. Cheers Stig |

Re: Photo Nieuport
Stig, I shall ponder on regarding the subject of how the SFA/Nieuport allocated the numbers in such an apparently confusing manner.
However, I have looked at the photo of N.2664 again and think I see a projecting engine cylinder behind the guy's elbow - if so probably the machine is a Nieuport 21 after all. So serial and type probably correct all that is needed now is the id of the individual who flew this machine. Regards, Clint |

Re: Photo Nieuport
While continuing to hope for an id of the pilot and unit of Nieuport 21 N.2664,in the previous photo in this thread here is a photo of another Nieuport currently on delcampe.
https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...944851300.html Nieuport 27 N.558* Any assistance with the identification of the unit of this machine would also be welcome. Regards, Clint |

Re: Photo Nieuport
Nice article Clint
I believe Avions in the past carried one or more article about the same unit. Always good to get "it" in English..... Apologies to all my French friends Cheers Stig |
