The morphism of sheaves α\alpha is an isomorphism.

Suppose first that the principal fibre spaces E and E′E' are both trivializable; choose sections i:B→Ei: B\rightarrow E and i′:B→E′i': B\rightarrow E' of them. Then there exists a unique continuous mapping θ\theta from M into B×GB\times G such that one has

θ([i(b)⋅g,i′(b)⋅g′,f])=(b,g′fg−1) \theta ([i(b)\cdot g, i'(b)\cdot g', f]) = (b, g'f g^{-1})

for b∈B,g∈G,g′∈Gb\in B,g\in G,g'\in G and f∈f\in F; it is an isomorphism of B-spaces. Let φ\varphi be an isomorphism of principal fibre spaces from E onto E′E'; there exists a unique continuous mapping γ:B→G\gamma : B\rightarrow G such that φ(i(b))=i′(b)⋅γ(b)\varphi (i(b)) =i'(b)\cdot \gamma (b) for b∈Bb\in B. The image of φ\varphi under the mapping αB\alpha_B is the mapping b↦θ−1(b,γ(b))b\mapsto \theta^{-1}(b, \gamma (b)) from B into M. This implies that αB\alpha_B is a bijection.

Consequently, αU\alpha_U is a bijection for every open set U of B such that the principal fibre spaces EUE_U and EU′E'_U are trivializable. By corollary 2 of I, p. 55, this implies that α\alpha is an isomorphism of sheaves.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
