1/5 5 Nieuport 28
11//55 NNIIEEUUPPOORRTT 2288 V4 FLAT-FINISHED ARF RADIO CONTROL WWI MODEL AIRPLANE I N S T R U C T I O N M A N U A L Shown with optional scale machine guns, motor and propeller. Congratulations on your acquisition of Maxford USA’s Nieuport 28 ARF! The Nieuport 28 was a French biplane fighter flown during World War I, designed by Gustave Delage and built by Nieuport, also known as Nieuport-Delage – a French airplane company famous for racers before World War I and fighter aircraft during World War I and between the wars. Retaining many of the Nieuport 17’s best features, the Nieuport 28 was a lightly built, highly maneuverable fighter: It had a more powerful engine; carried twin synchronized machine guns; its ailerons were fitted only to the lower wing; and it had two- spar wings – top and bottom – in place of the earlier Nieuport types’ sesquiplane (a biplane with one long wing and one short one above or below it). The Nieuport 28 was the first aircraft to see service in any American fighter squadron. By the time the Nieuport 28 became available in early 1918, it was already considered “surplus” from the French point of view. Their SPAD XIII was a superior aircraft in most respects and had already become firmly established as the standard French fighter. (A 1/5-scale ARF SPAD XIII is also available from Maxford USA at www.maxfordusa.com.) When the Nieuport 28 was offered to the United States, it was immediately accepted by the American Expeditionary Force, and 297 Nieuport 28s were put into service in the 27th, 94th, 95th and 103rd Aero Pursuit Squadrons. -

The Voisin Biplane by Robert G
THE VOISIN BIPLANE BY ROBERT G. WALDVOGEL A single glance at the Voisin Biplane reveals exactly what one would expect of a vintage aircraft: a somewhat ungainly design with dual, fabric-covered wings; a propeller; an aerodynamic surface protruding ahead of its airframe; and a boxy, kite-resembling tail. But, by 1907 standards, it had been considered “advanced.” Its designer, Gabriel Voisin, son of a provincial engineer, was born in Belleville, France, in 1880, initially demonstrating mechanical and aeronautical aptitude through his boat, automobile, and kite interests. An admirer of Clement Ader, he trained as an architect and draftsman at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, and was later introduced to Ernest Archdeacon, a wealthy lawyer and aviation enthusiast, who subsequently commissioned him to design a glider. Using inaccurate and incomplete drawings of the Wright Brothers’ 1902 glider published in L’Aerophile, the Aero-Club’s journal, Voisin constructed an airframe in January of 1904 which only bore a superficial resemblance to its original. Sporting dual wings subdivided by vertical partitions, a forward elevating plane, and a two-cell box-kite tail, it was devoid of the Wright-devised wing- warping method, and therefore had no means by which lateral control could be exerted. Two-thirds the size of the original, it was 40 pounds lighter. Supported by floats and tethered to a Panhard-engined racing boat, the glider attempted its first fight from the Seine River on June 8, 1905, as described by Voisin himself. “Gradually and cautiously, (the helmsman) took up the slack of my towing cable…” he had written. -

CROUCH National Air and Space Museum THE HARMON MEMORIAL LECTURES IN MILITARY HISTORY NUMBER FORTY-SIX United States Air Force Academy Colorado 2003 3 THE HARMON LECTURES IN MILITARY HISTORY The oldest and most prestigious lecture series at the Air Force Academy, the Harmon Memorial Lectures in Military History originated with Lieutenant General Hubert R. Harmon, the Academy's first superintendent (1954-1956) and a serious student of military history. General Harmon believed that history should play a vital role in the new Air Force Academy curriculum. Meeting with the History Department on one occasion, he described General George S. Patton, Jr.'s visit to the West Point library before departing for the North African campaign. In a flurry of activity Patton and the librarians combed the West Point holdings for historical works that might be useful to him in the coming months. Impressed by Patton's regard for history and personally convinced of history's great value, General Harmon believed that cadets should study the subject during each of their four years at the Academy. General Harmon fell ill with cancer soon after launching the Air Force Academy at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver in 1954. He died in February 1957. He had completed a monumental task over the preceding decade as the chief planner for the new service academy and as its first superintendent. -
