About the Relic & Process

Displayed on a metallic dataplate, this WWI linen fragment was removed during the flying restoration work on Nieuport 28 No. 512. This piece of linen comes from the horizontal stabilizer and was removed by Mikael Carlson in Sebbarp, Sweden during the aircraft's 2019-2022 restoration. With it's original nine-cylinder Gnome Monosoupape 9N rotary engine, the aircraft took to flight in 2022 donning the livery of 2 LT Douglas Campbell's aircraft N.6164 as it appeared on 14 April 1918. The aircraft is on display at the American Heritage Museum in Stow, MA.Tail section of Nieuport No. 512
