History and Significance of the Nieuport 10

The Nieuport 10 was a French biplane reconnaissance aircraft, which also served as a fighter from the very beginning of the Great War. Designed by Gustave Delage, it first took to the skies in 1914. It was quickly adopted both in France and by British, Russian, and Italian aviation forces. The single-seater version, which this model represents, was a response to the growing need for light fighters—and proved itself on many fronts, including in air operations during World War I from 1914 to 1917.
