"Of all the British aircraft constructors during the First World War, the Sopwith Aviation Co. Was the one most highly renowned for its fighters - the most famous being the 1&1/2 Strutter, Pup, Triplane, Camel, Dolphin and Snipe. All types and all classes of Sopwith aircraft, and not merely the fighters of the First World War, find their places in this book; and thus the volume serves not merely as a record of technical achievement but as a means of placing in perspective - and sometimes surprisingly in prominence - the less familiar designs that were realised under the leadership of Thomas Sopwith. "; Black & white photographs and drawings; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 322 pages. Fine in Fine dust jacket .
