From the placard: Le Rhone Model J

The Societe des Moteurs Gnome et Rhone built the Le Rhone Model J to power a variety of combat aircraft during World War I, including the Nieuport 23, Hanriot HD.1, SPAD A.2, Nieuport Triplane, and Sopwith Triplane.

The Model J is most famous for its connection to the Nieuport 17, the French fighter flown by aces Rene Fonck, William Bishop, Charles Nungesser, Albert Ball, and Georges Guynemer. The engine's success prompted the Germans to try to salvage and duplicate Le Rhones from downed French and British fighters. Many salvaged Le Rhones and their German-built copies saw service in such fighters as the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane.
