Nieuport Biplane – Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York

The French Nieuport 17 Fighter biplane on this mold-pressed glass plaque was introduced in I 9 I 6 and deployed during World War One. After the war, the Nieuport I 7 was used for training Fighter pilots. Designed in 1933, this plaque may have been intended to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the French pilot Henri Farman’s successful one-kilometer flight in 1908.
