A long with their German counterpart Fokker, Sopwith Aeroplane Company produced the most important and influential aircraft of World War I. Using designs based on prewar Schneider Cup-winning biplanes, the British manufacturer built such seminal models as the Pup, Snipe, and Camel. With a thorough history and large selection of period photography, Mick Davis reveals the common threads that linked Sopwith designs, and describes their service as the quintessential Allied aircraft of World War I.
