Squadron Signal - Aircraft In Action 1167 Nieuport Fighters
That the Society Anonyme des Etablissements Nieuport under La Meurthe was flourishing in 1914 is shown by its several addresses, Nos. 46, 48 and 50 Boulevard Galleini and 15 Rue Camille Desmoulins, both in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Seine), and a flying school had been established at Villacoublay.
In January Gustave Delage was hired as the designer. His first project departed from the company's five previous monoplane aircraft in being a near sesquiplane with narrow chord wings supported by 'V interplane struts, however, the lower half-wing, which was intended to provide the seated crew member with an improved downward view, would prove troublesome with a tendency to twist.
