The Type 4G, which was created in 1911, was a very successful design in mid-1912. the French, British, Italian and Russian armies were to purchase twelve of the two-manned aircraft each. In September 1913, the Russian Piotr Niewierow rose to a height of 1000 meters on the Nieuport IV airplane, then made a diving flight and made loops, he was the first in the world to do so. The loop made by Nesterov was called the "death loop".
