The Nieuport Nighthawk was a fast biplane pursuit that for a while (around l9l9) held the speed record for diving speed, as a dive-bomber. it was made by the French Nieuport aircraft company. Nieuports were also used by the American Expeditionary Force ( as were the better known SPADS ) and the Belgian air arm. Nieuport is a town in Francophone Belgium so the name was appropriate. Craft was used in World war I. there wee different marks- Nieuport l7, Nieuport 28, etc. Pronounced like the Jersey City Shopping center!
