Origin and history of the original

The Hispano-Nieuport NiD-52 was a French light fighter produced during the 1920s by the Nieuport-Delage company. The NiD-52 variant was created for Spain, which decided to assemble these aircraft under license. The machine served mainly with the Spanish Air Force during the interwar period (1927–1936), and saw active service, among other things, during the early clashes of the Spanish Civil War, when the NiD-52 formed the backbone of the government air force.
