Nieuport 28 aircraft differed from previous Nieuport fighting scout models in that the lower wing was enlarged to be almost as large as the top wing. Nieuport 28 aircraft were produced in France.
Nieuport 28 aircraft were flown by the American Expeditonary Force during World War I.
The Nieuport 28 first flew on June 14, 1917.
On April 14, 1918, during only the second combat mission with the Expeditionary Force, two Nieuport 28 aircraft had victories over enemy aircraft.
World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker first flew the Nieuport 28. Although the Nieuport 28 had a smaller turning radius than other aircraft of the time, it was slower, did not climb as well, and tended to be less durable.
A total of about 300 Nieuport 28 aircraft were produced.
After the war a number of Nieuport 28 aircraft continued serving around the world.
