Please help - Production and delivery data of some famous planes

Sorry to bother you, but I would appeciate a lot some help about that.

Windsock Special "Nieuport Fighters" gives a total of 7200 Le-Rhone powered Nieuports produced. Can anybody guess how many Nieuport 11, how many 16, 17, 21, 24 ad 27? And in which month each of these model was first delivered to Escadrilles/Squadros?

How can I split the 5202 Se5/Se5a between the two models (and if they could carry 4 or 8 25 lp bombs)?

How can I split the 660 Saml S.1/S.2 produced among the two models, and when were the first Saml S.2 delivered?

Were 1064 Friedrichshafen G.III produced, and when they fist arrived to their units?

When did Hariot HD.1, Phönix C.I, Siemens-Schuckert D.I first arrive to their units?

(and by the way, top altitude for Siemens-Schuckert D.I?)

Thanks so much!

Andrea

Cool

The first 24 aircraft were Se5's then the engine was changed to 200 horsepower. Early in production the wings were changed to improve control. Some sources say SE5a's have 200hp engines, others say the wing change defines the SE5a. The 150hp engine was fitted to about 59 aircraft (se5's) therefore 5143 are SE5a's Bombs carried would depend on the racks fitted 25lb cooper bombs being most common.

Can't imagine why you want to know this information, but the first two squadrons equipped with SE5/SE5a's were 56 and 60 squadron. probably no other squadron had SE5's

Nothing serious, just a reference data chart for a game.

The Neiuport 23, 24 and 27 were all very similar the 24 was used for training by the French, some may have been used in combat by the Belgians and Italians
