[WWI] Nieuport 11 instruments question

[Jim Landon]

<<Same as everybody else, Nieuport Fighters DF Special, vo. 1 and the Crowood book.>>
 
Everybody else? Everybody else?  Not me. (Grin)
 
Perhaps one of the "everybody else" could scan the appropriate text and/or photo(s) and send it to me off-list. (Grin)
 
Or just describe what the Nieuport Fighters DF Special, vo. 1 and the Crowood book have to say/show about instruments and seatbelts in the Nie 11.

 " For instruments the Nie 11 only had a tachometer, oil pulsator, fuel sight glass and magneto switch, right? "
 
For the most part, yes.
 
 " I have seen on the internet where folks have said that it had airspeed, altimeter, compass etc. ... but I don't think so. Of course stuff could have been installed in the field. "
 
Could have, yes.   " Anybody have any Nie 11 cockpit photos showing the instruments?   Oh, one more thing: seatbelts. I can't find any Nie 11 photos or drawings that show any seat belts. The way the pilot was crammed into the tiny cockpit I suspect they didn't need seatbelts. Anybody have any Nie 11 cockpit photos showing seatbelts? "
 
 Same as everybody else, Nieuport Fighters DF Special, vo. 1 and the Crowood book.
