The Nieuport 28 C.1, America’s First Fighter for CFS2 The Nieuport 28 C.1 was developed in France but was America's first fighter aircraft. It entered service in March 1918. France originally ordered it into production in 1917 only to cancel the order shortly thereafter in favor of the SPAD XIII as the standard French fighter. It was given a new lease on life when the United States Air Service (USAS) ordered 297 of them as it was available when the SPAD XIII could not be procured due to the SPAD production commitment to the French Air Force. It was intended as a stop gap fighter until enough SPAD XIII's became available. Deliveries - without guns - to the USAS 94th and 95th Aero Squadrons began in February and March 1918. By the end of March a limited number of Vickers machine guns were delivered to the 94th for combat patrols to begin. In June, the 27th and 147th Aero Squadrons were also equipped with the Nieuport 28. The Nieuport 28 in combat proved to have outstanding maneuverability and rate of climb with decent speed, but had a weakness on the upper wing where the leading edge could fail, tearing the upper wing fabric off with it when it was pulled out of a high speed dive. This led to a number of incidents in combat causing losses. Some pilots were able to limp back to base with the damage, like Waldo Heinrichs, Jimmy Meissner, and Eddie Rickenbacker, but others were not so lucky. This led to more cautious flying by the pilots and probably hindered the overall combat performance of the Squadrons. Even so, the USAS fighter squadrons turned in an acceptable record with the Nieuport for the four months they flew it in combat until SPADS became available to replace the Nieuports beginning in August, 1918.

The G was essentially a C model with a shortened solid nose housing .50 cal machine guns and the Colt M4 75mm cannon. The nose .50s were primarily used for ranging and targeting the 75mm. In the field the ventral turret was removed, extra nose, tail and waist guns were added, as well as added armor plate protection for the cockpit. The 75mm was deadly against ships and enemy ground installations. This is an original model of the North American B-25G. The aircraft features a shined and multi-LOD MDL and full animation. Textures by the incomparable Sopwith Chameleon. She carries standard bomb armament (Dbolt's), my B25 AI Bombs, as well as torpedo and an aux fuel tank by Pen32@Win. All included in the download. A set of blank textures has been included for repaints. The active MDL file is shined, but an unshined version (extension MNS) has been provided in the Model folder for those who prefer a flat weathered finish.
