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.

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?
