Description
Following on from the publisher’s very successful Polish Wings books, this new series covers aircraft in French service over the years. This second volume tells the story of the Nieuport Delage family of fighter aircraft in the French Air Force between the Wars. The Nieuport-Delage NiD29 was a biplane fighter deployed in the 1920s. Racing versions of the Ni-D 29 broke eight world speed records and won several speed trophies. The Ni-D 62 was a 1930s derivative and served right up to the outbreak of World War II, after which it was used as a trainer. The acquisition and operation of these aircraft in the French Air Force is told in detail, and illustrated by many previously unpublished contemporary photographs.
