IUE observations at high and low resolution of Nova Aql 1918 show neither evidence of outflow nor the presence of nebular lines. This indicates that the shell ejected at the time of the outburst and surrounding the system for many years (Mustel and Boyarchuck, 1970) has by now disappeared.

The high excitation spectrum presents rapid variations in the far UV and eclipse effects in the near UV that seem well correlated with the orbital phase.

The observations can be interpreted in terms of phenomena occurring in or near the accretion disk surrounding the white dwarf. However, the small inclination of the orbital axis raises serious problems in trying to model the system.
