  • DE FRANCE US TOUR March 17 - May 6, 2017 EDITORIAL by the French Air Force Chief of Staff
    PRESS PACK - FRENCH AIR FORCE PATROUILLE DE FRANCE US TOUR March 17 - May 6, 2017 EDITORIAL by the French Air Force Chief of Staff is a highly symbolic year for the French and American Air Forces alike. 2017 It marks the centenary of the United States’ entry in the Great War, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the US Air Force, I00 years since the death of Georges Guynemer and, more generally, it is a year in which the French Air Force will commemorate the World War I flying aces. All this goes much deeper than outward symbols and commemorations, it under- scores not only the history of cooperation between our Air Forces, but also the fact that that cooperation is now more topical than ever. During World War I, the French and American airmen of the “La Fayette Escadrille” fought side-by-side, building the superiority in the air that was to play such a decisive role in changing the course first of the Battle of Verdun, then the Battle of the Somme, and then, irreversibly, all the battles which followed. Our aviators continue to fight side-by-side in today’s theaters of operations, protec- ting their fellow citizens. In the Levant, in the same Coalition force deployed to combat Islamic State, they fight the same enemy which has attacked innocent civilians both in France and the US. In the Sahel-Saharan Strip, the US Air Force provides support that enables the French forces to track down jihadist groups in a region the size of Europe and to sustain pressure in areas where they are active, thanks to ongoing air operations.

This led to major tactical changes, industrialised the conflict, and profoundly transformed the way war was conducted and combat engaged in. The first major change was in relation to weaponry. The war of position characterised by the trenches froze the front line, with two armies facing each other across no-man’s-land. In this situation, reminiscent of siege warfare, defence was the central focus of the struggle. Artillery came to dominate the battlefields, employed with the aim of punching holes in the enemy lines and saving the lives of one’s own soldiers.

  • SPAD XIII Early
    SPAD XIII early 1/48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT ProfiPACK #8197 INTRO The French SPAD XIII was a development of the SPAD VII. The SPAD VII was flown by Georges Guynemer, who was not particularly pleased with the type, especially when compared to the aircraft flown by his German adversaries. He took his concerns directly to the manufacturer. Because by this time, Guynemer was already well known in French life in general, his concerns were taken seriously. With that, the groundwork for the development of two more models were laid, the SPAD XII and SPAD XIII. While the SPAD XII was armed with a 37 mm cannon, and as such saw limited production and use by very experienced pilots, the SPAD XIII saw much more widespread use. Thanks to the use of a more powerful Hispano-Suiza HS 8Be engine rated at 220 hp, and later the HS 8BEe (235 hp), the main drawback of the previous model in the form of inadequate armament could be addressed, and the SPAD XIII received two Vickers machine guns with 400 rpg. The head designer of the type, Louis Bechereau also enlarged the airframe slightly, and strengthened it. The first prototype of the SPAD XIII was flown by Second Lieutenant Rene Dorme on April 4th, 1917. Due to a heavier weight, the new type didn’t achieve the maneuverability of its predecessor, but it did display a better rate of climb, and a faster speed of 215 km/h. The performance of the new type was such that contracts were immediately awarded for large production numbers.

  • Nieuport Ni-17 7071 1:72 DUALCOMBO! Eduard
    Nieuport Ni-17 7071 1:72 DUAL COMBO! eduard The Niuport 11 fighter, which, at the beginning of 1916 along with the British DH 2, countered the onslought of German Fokker monoplanes, was powered by a9 cylinder rotary Le Rhone 9c engine rated at 80hp/59kW. Even as a small aircraft, the Nieuport was underpowered, and so the switch was made to the Le Rhone 9J, rated at 110hp/81kW. This was the development known as the Nieuport 16, and the airframe itself was little changed from its predecessor. The result was a machine with degraded performance, mainly due to a heavier nose end, and for that reason the type was considered interim. Chief designer at Nieuport, Gustav Delage, succumbed to the necessity of completely redesigning the aircraft. The new design inherited the concept of the sesquiplane (1 1/2 Strutter), but was strengthened, especially where the lower wing was concerned, since this component had a tendency to failure during certain harsher maneuvers. Wingspan was increased, and the wing area rose by 1.45sq. m. The engine cowl was redesigned, and the interface to the fuselage was streamlined. The new type, designated Nieuport 17, was armed with two Vickers machine guns, located, thanks to an Alkan synchronization system, in front of the pilot, firing through the propeller arc. In some instances, particularly on machines destined for the British RFC, these guns were replaced by a Lewis machine gun mounted on the center section of the top wing.Nieuport 17s also flew with combinations of the weapons, and could be armed with eight wing mounted rockets by Le Prieur.
