HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The Hanriot HD 1 was designed by Pierre Dupont. It was rejected by the French Air Service in late 1916, however it was selected by the air services of Belgium and Italy. It was the standard Italian fighter during World War I. While not as fast as the Albatros D series fighters, the HD 1 was reliable and extremely maneuverable. The HD.1 proved its worth throughout the war after entering service during the summer of 1917. Italian pilots equipped with the Hanriot HD 1 engaged and destroyed eleven German reconnaissance aircraft at Istrana, on 26 December 1917, without suffering a single lost aircraft. Willy Coppens, Belgium's famous ace and balloon buster, scored most of his victories flying the Hanriot HD 1 Our prototype is decked out in Willy Coppens color scheme.
