Description
The Nieuport Type 17 was its manufacturer's most important model and one of the most important fighter planes of the Allies in World War I. As the culmination of Nieuport's development of fighter scouts, it was so successful that it was adopted by most of the Allies, including Russia and the United States. Many top pilots from World War I flew this aircraft, appreciating its manoeuvrability and high climbing capacity. (Source: Aircraft of the World, IMP BV)
