This is a profile of the Nieuport 3981 which was flown by Roderic Dallas when he claimed a C Class Aircraft as a victory on the 20th of February 1916. The German aircraft was claimed as a Driven Down. Dallas was to claim four other victories flying the Nieuport 11's with 1 Wing.

The Royal Naval Air Service was the first military arm to order the Nieuport 10 and it was due to the RNAS showing interest that the French Aviation Militaire bought the N10. The RNAS received several N11's and these were allocated serial numbers 3974 - 3994. 1 Wing was to fly these until they were replaced by the Sopwith Triplane Scout of which Dallas flew the prototype N500 into combat.
