Nieuport

The Nieuport 17 was a French plane that was flown by both French and British pilots. The "Superbebe" was a larger improved version of the Nieuport 11. Like the ones that came before it was originally equipped with a Lewis gun but was upgraded to a synchronized Vickers machine gun. The Nieuport was as good or better than the German planes at the time, which helped end Germany's control of the skies. The superior design was so successful that German high command ordered it copied.

The English pilot Philip Fullard shot down 40 enemy planes with the Nieuport 17, more than anybody else.
