Preowned, Resealed, Parts off sprue

The Nieuport 17 arrived at the front in the spring of 1916 and gave French squadrons the edge they needed during Verdun and the Somme. Its sesquiplane layout, with a narrow single spar lower wing and V struts, paired a light airframe with a 110 hp Le Rhône rotary for a fighter that climbed and turned better than almost anything opposing it. Guynemer, Nungesser and the pilots of the Escadrille Lafayette all flew the type, and it served with the RFC, RNAS, Belgian, Italian and Russian air services before the SPAD VII took over.
