sandbagger Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited October 31, 2009 by shredward Quote
rwmarth Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Any chance to get some of virtual cockpit shots of these beautiful birds??? Quote
Bullethead Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 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? Quote
shredward Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Depended who you asked. Some liked it, some didn't. Nevertheless, it was the first British two-gun fighter. Cheers, shredward Quote
