One of the great un-sung warriors of WWI was the Sopwith LCT, the Land Clerget Tractor of the company drawing office but nicknamed forever in history as the 1 1/2 Strutter - an obvious reference to its unusual central wing strut arrangement. The Strutter enjoyed a lengthy service career and a lengthy production run in France where, as author J M Bruce relates in his narrative, the greatest number of the type was constructed. For this DATAFILE a great variety of illustrations has been selected but space precludes coverage of the single seat bomber version. The 1 1/2 Strutter is assured of its niche in British military aviation history and this book represents the best pictorial record of the type yet published.
