History:
The Nieuport 11 and 16 fighters were equipped with light but effective armament, typically a single forward-firing Lewis or Vickers gun. Ammunition was stored in carefully arranged racks within the fuselage for quick access during flight. The starboard-side racks were a distinctive feature, reflecting the compact and efficient design of these agile interceptors that played a crucial role in restoring air superiority to the Allies in early 1916.
