| The Nieuport 28 was the first fighter aircraft received by squadrons of the United States Air Service after they arrived in France. It was fast and maneuverable but in a sufficiently steep dive, it had a tendency to shed its upper wing fabric. The Nieuport 28 was replaced by the less maneuverable but more reliable SPAD S.XIII |
