Bearing the serial number of the original Nie.17 flown by Lt. W A Bishop in No.60 Sqn, RFC, this exquisite airworthy reproduction aircraft was built in 1962 by Carl Swanson at Sycamore, Illinois, and is in the collection of Canada’s National Aviation Museum at Rockcliffe, Ontario.
Inset: one observation about the Nieuport 17 that almost certainly applies to the 11 and 16 concerns the fuselage covering. Whenever the NAM Nieuport 17 had the engine running on the ground, or was flying, the fabric on the sides of the fuselage behind the cockpit ‘sucked-in’ making the vertical fuselage members stand out in relief. In bright light conditions the shadows this caused were quite noticeable while the aircraft was in flight as this photo shows. -

By 1916 French air strength had become impressive, and with types such as the Nieuport and Spad the fighter units had capable equipment. The Nieuport 17, as N2474 here, was powered by a 110hp Le Rhone and had a top speed of 110mph (177kph).

Nieuport 17, possibly of Escadrille N76. This Nieuport was built in large numbers and equipped many of the French fighter squadrons, as well as a variety of Allied units.
The triangular fanion on the fuselage of N1932 is the light blue and gold emblem of Escadrille N76. The colors were also used for the zig-zag on the rear fuselage. A personal marking which is possibly medium blue aft, extends over the decking -

This aspect of Nieuport 17 N1424 shows application of sprayed camouflage seen on early examples of the type. Patterns varied widely and although this is one of the best photographs available, high reflectivity and lighting conditions still make defining the disposition of colours extremely difficult.

N1803 was typical of the Vickers-armed version of the Nie.17 with overall ‘silver’ finish. A narrow (one rib-space) transparent area at the root end of each upper mainplane allowed more light to fall on the centrally-placed Vickers gun.

Ground view of late production Nieuport 17, serial no N1559. With these later machines the overwing Lewis gun was replaced by a synchronised .303 inch Vickers firing through the propeller arc. N1559 is in standard French markings. The fact that the machine is fined with a totally non-standard pitot/static tube, fined to the portside 'V' interplane strut, would indicate that N1559 was involved in development flying.

A foursome of Nieuport 17s belonging to the Escadrille Lafayette, or N 124, formed of French commanded American volunteer pilots. The brainchild of Norman Price, an American lawyer, the squadron came into being on 16 April 1916, as the Escadrille Americaine, its name being quickly changed to Lafayette following German diplomatic pressure. After serving honourably under the French flag for just under two years, the unit was transferred to US control on 18 February 1918 to become the 103rd Aero Squadron, with most of its pilots being put in command of other squadrons being formed at the time, thus helping to spread this pool of hard-won combat experience. Sadly, the squadron's creator, Norman Price, along with other unit members including Raoul Lufbery, James McConnell and Kiffen Rockwell were all to die in combat. Note the squadron's Indian Head emblem.

The Nieuport 17 went into operational service in the late spring of 1916 being a bigger, better, more powerful development of the Nieuport 11 Bebe, minus the handling problems of the Ni 16. Powered by a 110hp Le Rhone, the Ni 17 had a top level speed of 107mph at 6.560 feet giving it a level speed advantage of around 13mph over the Halberstadt D II and 16mph compared with the Fokker E III. This, combined with its superior climb and agility saw the new French fighter outclassing its German opposition to the point where the German reaction was to have Euler and Siemens-Schuckert mimic the design by 'back-engineering' a captured Nieuport 17. The early production French-operated example seen here sported a 'cone de penetration', which, unlike a normal airscrew boss, remained stationary. However, like many adornments dreamt up by the aircraft builders, these cones failed to survive long in operational useDespite the high speed manoeuvre limitations of the earlier Bebe also applying to the Ni 17, the fighter was built in quantities that approached the 1.000 aircraft mark, the type entering widespread service in France, with both the RFC and RNAS in Britain, Belgium, Italy - where 150 were licence-built by Macchi - The Netherlands and Romania.

The then Captain William Avery Bishop, photographed in the cockpit of his No 60 Squadron, RFC, Nieuport 17, serial no B 1556. Destined to survive World War I with a confirmed score of 72 victories, 'Billy' Bishop was born in Ontario, Canada, on 8 February 1894, Bishop was already a Lieutenant with a Canadian cavalry unit at the outbreak of war. As with other aces-to-be, Bishop started his flying career as an observer in Royal Aircraft Factory RE 7s of No 21 Squadron, RFC, during the autumn of 1915. Hospitalised with a knee injury sustained in a crash landing early in 1916, Bishop then underwent pilot training, following which he spent the rest of the year and early 1917 flying the Royal Aircraft Factory BE 2c with a UK-based anti-airship unit. In mid-March 1917, the young Canadian was posted to No 60 Squadron, RFC, operating Nieuports over the Western Front. Just over a week later, 'Billy' Bishop was to score his first 'kill'. During the next five months, Bishop's tally rose to 36, with his lone 2 June 1917 attack on a German airfield earning him the coveted Victoria Cross for exceptional bravery. After an enforced extended leave back in Canada, Major Bishop, as he now was, returned to France in mid-March to command the Royal Aircraft Factory SE 5a-equipped No 85 Squadron, RFC. Between then and 19 June 1918, 'Billy' Bishop doubled his score of confirmed victories before being effectively forced to quit operational flying for public relations reasons. Bishop returned to Canada after the war, where he helped create the Royal Canadian Air Force, becoming an Air Vice Marshal in the process. 'Billy' Bishop died on 11 September 1956.

This captured RFC Nieuport 17 was B1514 (though some official records list it as a Nie.23). It had been at No.l AD by April 4 1917, and was with No.60 Squadron by April 22. On May 6 2/Lt. C W McKissock was obliged to land in enemy territory, and was made PoW. His aircraft had a cutaway cowling, and rocket-tube attachment points were on the interplane struts.

The first of the RFC’s many Nie.17s was, like the Nie.16s that preceded it, a transfer from the RNAS. This was SFA N1553, which came to the RFC on July 19 1916, and was numbered A200. It had a cone de penetration and transparent panels in the upper wing. A200 went briefly to No.11 Squadron, RFC, but on August 28 1916, was transferred to No.60 Squadron. Albert Ball flew it on September 15, armed with Le Prieur rockets, bent on destroying enemy balloons. Frustrated because the balloons were hauled down, he fired his rockets at a German fighter; all missed, but Ball closed and shot down the enemy. His Nieuport must have been hit, possibly by defensive ground fire, for it was sent to No.2 AD for repair on September 16. The aircraft returned to No.60 Squadron on December 16. Early in February 1917 it suffered the wing distortion that affected several Nieuports but evidently survived. Following damage late in March, it went to No.2 AD on March

The size and proportions of the cone de penetration of the Nie. 17 can be assessed from this photograph of Lt. Albert Ball, taken in the garden of his Nottingham home while he was on leave. The RFC seemed to be quick to discard this refinement from its early Nieuports, which is probably why Ball was allowed to have his as a souvenir. It was painted red.

Most of the assorted Nieuports acquired by the United States Air Service were used for training purposes in France. This Nie.17 was photographed at Issoudun, wearing on its fuselage the number 31 in large characters, plus ‘15m’ in smaller characters, presumably to intimate that this was a Nieuport with 15 sq. m. wing area.

Despite having been born in France of French parentage, Raoul Gervais Victor Lufbery has deservedly gone into the annals of aviation as one of the brave young men who helped in the forging of US military aviation during World War I. Lufbery was born on 14 March 1885, emigrating with his parents to the US at the stare of the 1890s. At seventeen and footloose, Lufbery ran away from home, travelling to Europe and the Middle East before returning to the US to join the Army as a rifleman. It was the US Army that furthered his knowledge of the world by sending him to the Philippines, from where, on Army discharge, he proceeded to explore South East Asia in 1910. Two years on and Lufbery's path crosses that of French pilot, Marc Pourpe, who hired Lufbery as the mechanic for his Bleriot. At the outbreak of war both men were still together and, by now, back in France, Pourpe volunteered and with his previous flying experience soon found himself with Escadrille N 23. Initially rejected as a foreigner by the French authorities, Lufbery was contemplating joining the French Foreign Legion when Pourpe, in need of a tried and trusted mechanic, intervened on his behalf. Sadly, shortly after rejoining Pourpe, his benefactor was killed. During the late spring of 1915, Lufbery was selected for pilot training, gaining his 'wings' on 29 July 1915. His introduction to combat came in October 1915 piloting two seater Voisins with Escadrille VB 106. Happily for Lufbery, he was selected for single seaters early in 1916 and following type conversion training joined the Nieuport 11-equipped Escadrille Lafayette on 24 May 1916. French-led, this unit was manned by American volunteer pilots. Here, within the space of less than five months, Lufbery made his mark by becoming an ace, that is having amassed the necessary five 'kills', on 12 October 1916. Commissioned in early 1917, Lufbery continued flying for the French with the Escadrille Lafayette until January 1918, when the unit and its personnel were transferred to the American Expeditionary Forces's control. By now holding the US rank of major, Lufbery was given command of the 94th Aero, equipped with Nieuport 28s. This unit became operational on 19 March 1918 and two months later Raoul Lufbery was killed after falling from his blazing Nieuport on 19 May 1918. Seen here standing besides his Nieuport 17, with its Escadrille Lafayette's Indian Head emblem. Lufbery's ultimate confirmed score stood at 17 'kills'.

Both manpower and material were major initial contributions America brought to the war as pictured by these US Army Signal Corps mechanics re-assembling Nieuport 17s at Issoudun in France during May 1917. After August 1917, Issoudun was to become the biggest and best known of the sixteen American advanced flying training schools established in France. At the time of the Armistice, these flying training schools were producing around 2.000 pilots per month, including those undergoing refresher training.

For refusing to be assigned to N 561, preferring to fight on the French front. He arrived in Italy on June 7, 1917, and left on his first leave in France in April 1918, ending the war at escadrille SPA 124. He won three air victories during the war, including one in Italy. He then had a long career in the French airforce (SHD).

Nieuport 23 of N 92. The Nieuport 23 had a new interrupter gear which required the Vickers gun to be fitted a few centimeters to starboard of the centerline.
-
H.Cowin - Aviation Pioneers /Osprey/
Externally almost identical to the later Nieuport 17s, the Nieuport 23 was fitted with a 120hp Le Rhone and carried its Vickers gun on the port, or left-hand side of the upper nose, rather than the top centre as on late model 17s. Top level speed of the Ni 23 was 115mph at sea level. The machine shown here, N1895, was the personal mount of French ace, Charles Nungesser.
-
H.Cowin - Aviation Pioneers /Osprey/
Charles Eugene Jules Marie Nungesser ended his war with 45 confirmed victories, placing him in third place among France's leading air aces. Seen here leaning against his Nieuport 23, serial no N1895, resplendent with his macabre personal emblem. Nungesser was born in Paris on 15 March 1892. Clearly both impetuous and self-confident, the young Nungesser had run off to Argentina at the age of 16, where he made his first flight, 'soloing' the machine immediately afterwards. Commissioned as a cavalry officer into the 2nd Hussars prior to the war, Nungesser found himself overtaken by the advancing German in August 1914, coolly extricating himself by ambushing an enemy staff car, shooting its two occupants, and using it to make his escape. For this feat, along with an earlier act of bravery, Nungesser received the Medaille Militaire, along with a transfer to the flying service. On 8 April 1915 and by now a qualified pilot, he joined Escadrille VB 106, flying two-seat Voisins. It was while flying one of these sedate pushers in the autumn of 1915 that he was to make his first 'kill' by downing an Albatros two seater. Clearly, this victory marked him as being fighter pilot material, his transfer to Escadrille N 65, with its single seat Nieuport 11s following in November 1915. Once with N 65, Nungesser displayed an impressive aggression, as reflected in his ever-mounting tally of 'kills'. Reckless to the point of foolhardiness, helped, no doubt, by the military publicists, Charles Nungesser was feted wherever he went despite the fact that he spent much time in hospital recovering not only from enemy-inflicted wounds, but car crashes of his own making. Nungesser was to survive the war, his legend following him to the end, when, on 8 May 1927, accompanied by Francois Coli in the Levasseur 'Oiseau Blanc', he took off in an attempt to make the first east-west Atlantic crossing by aeroplane. Neither the aircraft or its crew were ever seen again.

A Nie.23 of No.40 Squadron RFC; believed to be A6786. The RFC found that in the Nie.23 there was a different disposition of packing pieces at the inboard ends of the upper wing panels, consequently different drillings had to be made for the securing bolts of the Foster gun-mounting.

D F Hilton, flying this Nieuport 23, destroyed two balloons, one at Westhoek that morning, the other at Polygon Racecourse that evening. On August 9 he drove down an Albatros D.V out of control near Langevarde, another east of Houthulst Forest two days later, and a third east of Zonnebeke on August 16. By January 21 1918, B3494 was in Egypt and was in the Repair Park; as at February 12 it had engine No. 100939/ WD9025. This photograph was reported to have been taken in Palestine: if correct, that could imply possible use by No.14 or No.111 Squadron.

Although in Russian service, this Nie.23 had apparently retained its French roundels and rudder stripes, but had supplementary flying wires. The pilot's flying suit was generally similar to the British Sidcot. -

The most significant event on the Eastern Front was the Bolshevik revolution in Russia that led to the Russian exit from the war. This Nieuport 17 was in Russian service and, as shown by the markings, went on to serve the Bolshevik forces.
Many Nieuport 10, 17, 21, 23, 24, 25 and other models were taken over by the RKKVF. This is probably a Nieuport 23. -

Fokker E.V CWL 00.4 (190/18) belonging to porucznik Julian Jasinski, a pilot of the 19th Fighter Squadron (16.EM). In early of June the Fokker monoplane was moved from Borysov to the Priyamino airfield for repair and repainting. Priyamino was the home base of the Red Aviation 4th Aero Group commanded by the famous pilot Aleksey D. Shirinkin. At this location was a storage facility for damaged and captured aircraft. On June 3, 1920, porucznik pilot Julian Jasinski got lost during a delivery flight to the front of the renovated monoplane when he was not carrying ammunition. Aircraft was was shot from the ground and on a damaged. Pilot emergency landed near Borisov on June 3, 1920. and was captured. After he was captured, Soviet propaganda publicized the incident stating that the Polish pilot had fled to their side. After the war, the pilot recalled that before he was sent to a PoW camp, according to the traditions of the Western Front from World War I, he was hosted for two days in the Shirinkin squadron. The aviator also provided exhaustive testimony, as a result of which he was completely cleared of any adverse allegations. During WWII he served in the PSP in Great Britain in 1942-43 as a ground defence officer in 308 and 315 Polish Fighter Squadron and then he was the chief of staff until 1946 in 303 Polish Fighter Squadron. A Soviet Nieuport 23 from 4th ASG can be seen in the background. Note also the stump mounted anti-aircraft Lewis machine gun.

The Nieuport 21 was the standard fighter of the French Orient Army during the year 1916. Very maneuverable, it was underpowered with its 90 hp engine and proved to be very insufficient to intercept German aircraft. (Basile Saune)

J.Bruce - Nieuport Fighters /Albatros/
In its official lists of Royal Naval aircraft the RNAS had a regrettable practice of using the vague description ‘Nieuport 1-seater, 80-hp Le Rhone' for aircraft that were not identical. Statements of squadron aircraft would generally indicate that those numbered 3956 - 3958 and 8745 - 8751 were known in the Service as Nieuport 17B. All were in use by August 1916, just before the French SFA designation Type 21 was introduced, so it is hardly surprising that the RNAS did not use it. In a minute dated February 26 1917, Acting Wing Commander Alec Ogilvie of RNAS Dunkerque confirmed that, . . the 17B type of 80 Le Rhone Nieuport. . . is a machine with 15 sq. m. of surface in place of the 13 sq. m. of the old Nieuport 80 Le Rhone Baby'. This leaves little doubt that the RNAS’s Nieuport 17Bs would have come as Nie.21s had they been delivered later. No.3956 had reached the Dunkerque Depot by August 10 1916, and was initially allocated to No.2 Flight of ‘A’ Squadron in No.l Wing at Fumes. Flight Lieutenant G V Leather was flying it on October 20 when he shot down a twin-engine seaplane off Ostend. Six days later 3956 was in ‘A’ Flight of the Detached Squadron that became No.8 (Naval) Squadron; and on December 4 Flight Sub-Lieutenant G G Simpson on 3956 shared with Flight Lieutenant C R Mackenzie on 8750 in the destruction of an Albatros D.I near Bapaume. By January 5 1917, 3956 was with No.3 (Naval) Squadron and acquired the name Binky. Subsequent moves took it to No.9 (Naval) by February 1, and to No.11 (Naval) by March 28. Flight Sub Lieutenant A E Hall was injured in a crash on May 12 1917, and 3956 was sent to the Dunkerque Depot that day. Its deletion was approved on May 16 1917.

A Nieuport 21 fighter used by Seversky and his detachment, Oesel island, summer 1917. A small Saint Andrew's cross has been painted on the side of the fuselage. The serial number "3" is the same red tone as the fuselage cockade.
An unusually interesting Duks-built Nieuport 21 of the Russian naval air station at Tserel on Osel island in the Baltic. One of a sub-Flight of four (the three others were numbered 6, 7 and 8), it was flown by Ensign Vsevolod Leonidovich Yakovlev in August 1917. The Nieuport’s naval ownership is marked by the small representation of the Russian naval ensign (a blue cross of St Andrew on a white background) on the fuselage side midway between the roundel and the tailplane. That fact notwithstanding, Yakovlev was an army officer. -

Aeroplane versus anchor cable. - Returning from a flight on his Nieuport, Sergt. Courtois, who had had his propeller damaged by bullets, was making for home against the sun. This accounted for the fact that he failed to see the anchor cable of a French kite balloon. As luck would have it, it was the propeller which struck the cable, otherwise the issue might have been serious. As it was, the Nieuport seemed to hesitate an instant, then, as the cable parted, it resumed its flight. On landing it was found that some ten yards of cable was twisted round the propeller shaft, otherwise no damage had been done. The observer in the kite balloon managed to land safely at Eure-et-Loir.

Nieuport 17/21/23
Дальнейшее развитие типа "Ньюпора-16". Самолет с тем же мотором, но с несколько увеличенными геометрическими размерами, усиленной конструкцией планера и улучшенной аэродинамикой. Основные внешние отличия - круглый, замкнутый снизу капот (вместо подковообразного) и более плавные переходы от капота к плоским бортам фюзеляжа, вместо треугольных алюминиевых накладок, характерных для ранних "ньюпоров". Некотрые экземпляры комплектовались большим округлым коком винта, но в частях его обычно снимали.
Вооружение - один синхронный "Виккерс", который иногда дополняли несинхронным "Льюисом" над верхним крылом. В редких случаях "по-старинке" ограничивались только одним надкрыльевым "Льюисом" (вероятно, из- за нехватки "виккерсов" или синхронизаторов к ним).
Машина строилась массовыми сериями. Во Франции выпущено не менее 2000 экземпляров, из которых более полутора тысяч поступили на вооружение французских эскадрилий, а остальные передали британцам или отправили в Россию.
Одновременно с "Ньюпором-17" во Франции и России строили "Ньюпор-21" с двигателем "Рон" в 80 л .с. и открытым снизу капотом "раннего" типа. Из-за относительно слабого мотора на Западе эту машину, как правило, применяли в качестве учебной, но в России она нередко встречалась и в боевых частях.
Очередной версией популярного французского истребителя стал "Ньюпор-23", появившийся в июне 1916 года. Он оснащался двигателем "Рон" 9Je мощностью в 120 л.с. Единственным внешним отличием "23-го" французской постройки от "17-го" был пулемет "Виккерс", смещенный вправо от продольной оси фюзеляжа, что объяснялось особенностями работы синхронизатора. "Ньюпор-23" выпускался также в России, причем русские машины этой модификации имели удлиненную на 0,6 м. хвостовую часть фюзеляжа для сохранения центровки при установке более тяжелого мотора. Кроме того, на них ставили элероны, имевшие равную ширину по всему размаху.
Московский завод "Дукс" в 1916-17 годах построил свыше 500 "ньюпоров-17", -21 и -23, еще более 200 сделано на других российских авиазаводах, в том числе порядка 50 - на РБВЗ. 150 экземпляров машины вышло из цехов завода итальянской фирмы "Ньюпор-Макки".
Первые "ньюпоры-17" поступили на вооружение французской эскадрильи №57 2 мая 1916 года. В дальнейшем на эти машины перевооружили еще более 20 французских истребительных эскадрилий, а также восемь дивизионов RNAS и пять дивизионов RFC, воевавших на западном фронте. Кроме того, самолет активно применялся на восточном фронте, в Италии, Палестине, Македонии и Месопотамии. На "ньюпорах-17" в 1916 году летала американская добровольческая эскадрилья "Лафайет", воевавшая в составе французских ВВС на западном фронте, а также несколько бельгийских, румынских и греческих эскадрилий. 20 машин закупили голландцы.
"Ньюпоры-17" и -23 ни в чем, кроме, огневой мощи, не уступали своим основным оппонентам - немецким истребителям "Альбатрос" и "Хальберштадт". С середины 1916-го и до начала следующего года они составляли основу французской истребительной авиации. В России эти машины использовались вплоть до выхода страны из Первой мировой войны, а затем - на фронтах гражданской и польско-советской войн.
Высокие качества машины по достоинству оценили не только союзники Франции, но и ее враги. С ноября 1916 года по июль 1917-го в Германии на фирме "Сименс-Шуккерт" под индексом SSW D.I серийно выпускалась копия трофейного "Ньюпора-17". Всего построено около 100 таких истребителей, оснащенных ротативными моторами "Оберурсель" и применявшихся, в основном, на восточном фронте.
