Nieuport N.17 Bis

[sandbagger 1]

Hi all,

Thought you might like to see some of the Nieuport N.17 Bis aircraft coming your way.

 

The N.17 Bis carried a Vickers as well as the wing mounted Lewis gun and had a mixture of the N.17 tail unit and later Nieuport fuselage.

Any chance to get some of virtual cockpit shots of these beautiful birds???

Quite nice.

 

I've heard the weight and drag of 2 guns robbed these birds of some of their nice maneuverability, so weren't generally liked. Is that true?

Depended who you asked. Some liked it, some didn't. Nevertheless, it was the first British two-gun fighter.

Cheers,
