The biography of engineer, pilot, designer, and sportsman Edouard Nieuport.Â
This biography of Edouard Nieuport, written by his grandson GĆœrard Pommier, details the brilliant solutions he applied to cycling and automobiles before turning to aircraft later made famous by pilots of nearly all Allied nations in the First World War.
Described are the achievements of this extraordinarily talented engineer (who died at age thirty-six), of his brother Charles (killed less than two years later), and of the splendid Nieuport aircraft manufacturing company, SociĂ©tĂ© Anonyme Des Ătablissements Nieuport, formed in 1909, which at one time led the world in airplane production, and continued its activity until 1936.
