Boom Boom BillyWorld War 1 Nieuport Propeller Fighter Models, Aviation Art and Books in Now

The Nieuport WW1 Airplane was one of the most famous of World War 1. America's first ace, Raoul Lufbery, flew this Nieuport 17 to his fifth aerial victory when, returning from an escort mission over Oberndorf on October 12, 1916.    On June 23, 1916, Victor Chapman - flying a Nieuport 16 as a member of the famed Lafayette Escadrille - finds himself alone against five German Eindeckers and quickly becomes the first U.S. airman to lose his life in World War I combat.  The models shown on these pages tell the History of Aviation Advancement and the History of the Great Fighters of World War 1.
