Model, Static, Nieuport 11 "Bébé"

In 1916, French Nieuport 11s countered Germany’s Fokker Eindeckers equipped with synchronized machine guns. Without a synchronizer, the Bébé had a Lewis gun mounted to the upper wing to fire above the propeller. The Bébé also had superior performance. This helped end the period of German air dominance known as the “Fokker Scourge.”
