[WWI] Nieuport 28 guns

[Patrick Cook]

I am not really an expert in the field (just a fan like you), but I remember someone telling me that many of the U.S.A.S. Nieuport 28's flew with only one gun installed.  The aircraft could in fact carry two machine guns so maybe that was due to a shortage of weapons.  As to whose airplane had one gun and whose had two, I do not know.  Others here may be able to shed more light on that.

  >From what I gathered from Rickenbacker's 1919 book, he borrowed someone plane that had 2 gun instead of the one on his plane.  This was after campbell was put out of action with a bullet to his back. Does that mean the 28 had only 1 gun in the begining and so to campbell. goaw
