The Nieuport 24 was an attempt by
the Nieuport firm to prolong the success
of its line of sesquiplane fighters.
It is believed that the prototype's
tail surfaces had caused problems either
during manufacturing or flight-testing.
While the design of the tail surface
was being revised a Nieuport 24 was
fitted with the tail and balanced rudder
of the Standard Nieuport 17. The modified
airframe was designated the Nieuport
24bis.
