A candidate for the title of 'Best WWI Fighter' was the Nieuport 28. The late-model Nieuport became the standard mount of the first USAS single-seat squadrons to make it to the Western Front and figured in many an American ace's early victories. In this painting by nationally renowned aviation artist, Ron Grinnell, the USAS's first ace, Douglas Campbell, scores his all-important fifth victory. (Courtesy American Aces Fighter Association.)
