Hello!
Do you have any info on the Nieuport 17 #1977 from Escadrille Lafayette? Pilot names, events or so? http://www.gospelcom.net/ocf/munoz/prop/nieuport.html Bye and thanks, Andrea |

Nieuport 17 N1977 was Robert Soubiran's machine during the winter of 1916-17. The plate is wrong in a number of aspects. Soubiran's plane had from front to back, a Seminole Indian head just behind the cockpit, a wide red or black band with a narrow blue trim band to it's front and an ornate 'S' in red or black. Also there was no fuselage cocade. Cliff |

And to be a nit-picker about the plate; the Vickers and Lewis guns were 303 British caliber not 30 caliber. The latter is an American caliber that was not used by the British who made the mgs.

Great details, thanks! As ever, I am far more concerned with drawing a view from above... But your info is precious indeed anyway.
About MGs, he had two anyway, isn't it? Thanks again! Andrea |
