Loaned by Canada Aviation and Space Museum. E6938 was built by Nieuport and General with c/n 0131 as part of a batch of 100 that the company were contracted to build. Nieuport's entire production run was not delivered until after the Armistice, meaning that '938 saw no active service. The last record of this Snipe's service is a move to No.37 Squadron in January 1919.
