Morane-Saulnier G
Aircraft s/n is 281.
Piloted by Pyotr Nesterov, the aircraft depicted in the stamp was the first aircraft to destroy an enemy aircraft in flight. On 25th Aug 1914, Nesterov rammed his aircraft into a German aircraft over Ukraine. The incident damaged both aircraft, and Nesterov, who was not strapped in (as was common), fell from his aircraft and died of his injuries the next day. This was the first air-ram incident in flying history.
Nesterov is also famous for having done the first loop in an aircraft, though it was not in this particular model.
