Picture the early skies of 1916, crisp and volatile, where the daring spirit of aviation pioneers roared to life through the fragile frame of the Nieuport N.17. As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the rhythmic beat of the 110 h.p. Le Rhône engine and feel the rush of air past the open cockpit. The image captures the exhilaration and fragility of those times — when a handful of wood, wire, and linen stood between survival and sacrifice in the endless blue above the Western Front.

This 1971 print, published by Flight London (SE1), faithfully reproduces the spirit of the legendary French-designed Nieuport N.17, as flown by some of the Great War’s most celebrated aces including Bishop, Nungesser, and Guynemer. It features the Canadian replica of Bishop’s own aircraft, B1566, evocatively flying across a convincing backdrop. The N.17, favoured for its manoeuvrability and pioneering use of top-wing-mounted Lewis guns, represents a crucial chapter in the evolution of aerial combat. Measuring approximately 10¼ x 8 inches and presented in good condition, this collectible is a rare glimpse into the bold ingenuity that shaped aviation history.

To own a piece like this is to safeguard a profound connection to our shared heritage — a tribute to the courage, innovation, and sacrifice of those who took to the skies when aviation was still young. For collectors, historians, and admirers of aviation’s golden age, this print offers a tangible bridge to an era where every flight was a leap into the unknown, and every pilot was a pioneer.
