First Piston-Engined fighter:

Nieuport 11 bebe and 17 (France)

The Type 11 was the fighter largely instrumental for the defeat of the 'Fokker
Scourge' in 1916. planned as a competition sesquiplane to take part in the Gordon
Bennet
Trophy race of 1914, the first Type 11 was designed and built in a mere four
months. The outbreak of World War 1 led to the race's cancellation, but the Type 11
was
nonetheless recognized as posessing the performance and flight characteristics to
make it a useful military aircraft. Early Type 11 aircraft were powered by the 60-
kW
(80-hp) Le Rhone rotary engin, and were used by the french and British as scouts
from 1915. The aircraft's apparent daintiness led to the nickname Bebe (Baby). The
Type 11 was then turned into a fighter by the addition of a machine-gun on the
upper-wing centre section to fire over the propeller's swept disc. many more
aircraft
were built.
