Abstract: Let $N$ be a nilpotent group normal in a group $G$. Suppose that $G$ acts transitively upon the points of a finite non-Desarguesian projective plane $mathcalP$. We prove that, if $mathcalP$ has square order, then $N$ must act semi-regularly on $mathcalP$. In addition we prove that if a finite non-Desarguesian projective plane $mathcalP$ admits more than one nilpotent group which is regular on the points of $mathcalP$ then $mathcalP$ has non-square order and the automorphism group of $mathcalP$ has odd order.
