Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Societe des Moteurs Gnome et Rhône built the Le Rhône Model I to power a variety of combat aircraft during World War 1, including the Nieuport

23, Hanriot HD.1 , SPAD A.2, Nieuport Triplane, and Sopwith Triplane.
The Model J is most famous for its connection to the Nieuport 17, the French fighter flown by aces Rene Fonck, William Bishop, Charles Nungesser, Albert Ball, and Georges Guynemer. The engine’s success prompted the Germans to try to salvage and duplicate Le Rhônes from downed French and British fighters. Many salvaged Le Rhônes and their German-built copies saw service in such fighters as the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane. Picture taken at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F.
