{"product_id":"nieuport-aces-of-world-war-norman-franks-9781855329614","title":"Nieuport Aces of World War 1","description":"The French Nieuport company provided the Allied air forces with the first true fighter scout of World War 1 in the shape of the diminutive XI of 1915. Based on the Bebe racer, built for the abandoned Gordon-Bennett Trophy of the previous year, the aircraft utilised a sesquiplane (lower wing much smaller than the upper wing) arrangement which gave the XI extreme manoeuvrability. It was the only scout respected by the all-conquering German Fokker E-series of 1915-16, and was flown by French, British, Russian, Belgian and Italian aces. The XI was replaced from May 1916 onwards by the bigger and more powerful XVII. which proved to be one of the best fighters of World War 1.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Franks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855329611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855329614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.77h x 7.25w x 0.28d","brand":"Norman Franks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640653893887,"sku":"9781855329614","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad834510-529e-496e-ad91-331b36ad9f0b.jpg?v=1740670190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nieuport-aces-of-world-war-norman-franks-9781855329614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
