Up-Close Aircraft Day

Saturday, August 11

WWI French "Lafeyette Escadrille" Fighter

11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The March Field Air Museum's “Up-Close Aircraft Day” for August will feature the Nieuport 11, one of the earliest successful fighter aircraft. The 1916 introduction of the single-seat Nieuport 11 brought German dominance of European skies to an end. Originally designed for racing, the Nieuport "Bebe" (Baby) featured an upper wing-mounted machine gun along with ailerons, instead of more primitive wing warping, for rapid maneuvering.
