Wings of Glory WWI: Nieuport 17 (Baracca)

1/144 Scale The Nieuport 17 was an agile fighter, first fielded in March 1916. Its excellent maneuverability made a huge impact. It soon equipped every French fighter squadron, served as a top British fighter for a year, and was even copied by the Germans! The “sesquiplane” design (a “half” lower wing) gave excellent climb and visibility, but was a weakness in stressful maneuvers. A favorite of the aces, the Nieuport 17 was produced in France, Italy and Russia and was used by all Allied armies until late 1917. Francesco Baracca was Italy’s top ace of World War I, with 34 kills, several of them in this Nieuport 17. His “prancing horse” symbol was later adopted by Ferrari.
