Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in glossy pictorial covers. 36 pages plus covers. Illustrated with black and white photographs; detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings by Ian R.

The Nieuport 28 was a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I and was the first “issued to four American squadrons between March and August 1918, becoming the first aircraft to see operational service with an American fighter squadron.” [Wikipedia]. The present Datafile monograph was penned by American enthusiast Jon Guttman and provides “a unique pictorial record which, coupled with the many close-up detailed photos and extensive camouflage notes,” [Foreword] offers the best documentation available on this aircraft. An excellent resource for the scale-modeler and airplane enthusiast. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy with sharp corners and no creases, as new. Fine.
