Some history of the plane:
in 1927 the air ejkercito (fae) held a contest to equip their aircraft fighter wings, which was presented Spanish and foreign materials. We selected three types of aircraft: "Nieuport-Delaye 52", "Dewoitine D-27", by the French, and the "Loring C-1" by the Spanish.
After supporting evidence submitted was selected by the house "Nieuport" and being built in series "Hispano Suiza" in Guadalajara, initiating metal aircraft construction.
It was the only monoplane fighter in service in military aviation at the outbreak of war.
It was manufactured in the factory Hispano-Suiza de Guadalajara since 1929.
The "Nieuport 52" was a plane sesquiplane, all metal, except in the upper plane scrim. This flat, large-area, had a dihedral of 2 ° in which were housed two fuel tanks of 362 liters. Only available this plane ailerons and represented almost all of the airfoil. Besides the small bottom plane, had a fairing wheel axis.
The fuselage section of elliptical, timbers structured by two major and several rings that gave shape and strength. Lattice by stringers, the set was covered by longitudinal bands of duralumin.
The landing gear of a track width of 2.10 m., Joined to the fuselage by two struts games as "N", and the upper level for two in a "Y", crossing the plane lower. Tailskid had a crossbow-type as a complement or third support point of the plane.
In its time it was a good fighter. Interrogated built the engine "Hispano-Suiza" 12HB, front radiator "Corominas" under the nose, replacing the "Lamblin" side, outperformed the French original. The engine in "V", drove a two-bladed wooden propeller of 2, 70 m. in diameter, developing a power of 500 hp. He was armed with two machine guns "Vickers" of 7.7 mm., Synchronized with the engine and firing through the propeller.
Its activity was brief. In 1935 he was introduced to replace the American monoplane "Boeing P-26", only reached 3 of all that were bought but not sent, nor returned the money for the purchase, they had had no training pilots and some English biplane "Hawker Fury ", deciding the construction of the latter, which could not be put into effect by the beginning of the war.
On this date the "Nieuport-52", was drawn in Group Getafe 11, Group 13, in Prat de Llobregat and Joint Squadron No. 12, in Tablada (Seville).
So were in service five squadrons, with a total of 40 or 45 aircraft, most of them in the area loyal to the Government of the Republic.
Gradually, this plane, and then dated, was replaced by more modern fighters on both sides faced. On the Republican side planes small amounts of French origin: Dewoitine 372, 500 and 510, 46 and Bleriot Spad Loire 510 in very short amounts despite signing up and paying respectable quantities of 1200 devices and failed to be neither 200 devices besides the Russian Polikarpov I15 and I16.
They were combat casualties and material wear a dozen of these planes on the side of the Republic.
