pigboat is correct. Built by the Societe Anonyme des Establisement Nieuport, the N.28 was an improvement on earlier models. Although highly manoeuverable, the French Air Service rejected the N.28 as inferior to the Spad XIII. The N.28 became the first operational fighter to be used by the American Expeditionary Force. It was flown by ace Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. I think it was the best looking flying machine of World War I. You have control.
