The Nieuport 28 (N.28C-1) was a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I, built by Nieuport and designed by Gustave Delage. Owing its lineage to the successful line of sesquiplane fighters that included the Nieuport 17, the Nieuport 28 continued a similar design philosophy of a lightweight and highly maneuverable aircraft.
Rejected by the Aéronautique Militaire in favor of the SPAD XIII - its principal claim to fame is that it was the first aircraft to see service with an American fighter squadron, equipping four squadrons of the United States Air Service between March and August 1918.
