For books there is Windsock Datafile # 20 as well as Nieuport Special .

For online look under Mark Miller 3D Drawings , Nieuport 17 , the Areodrome has this info in the gallery section .

There is also a site which is restoring one and has pic.s on line , but can never remember the name of it .

There are also two French books that are awesome, if you can find them anymore. One is primarily on Guynemer, the other on Dorme and Guiget (sp?). Both hardback, and while both cater towards the aces, there is plenty of "new" (at the time) information on Nieuports that was a God-send. Two of my most prized-books in my collection.

More likely it is a problem with your browser. Try this.
