An attempt was made to cross the Atlantic in a Sopwith Atlantic biplane by Com. Mackenzie Grieve and Maj. Harry Hawker on 18 May 1919. This plane generally followed the design of Sopwith warplanes, and had a 46 feet wingspan and was 31 feet long, weighing 6000 pounds fully equipped for flight. It was supposed [...]]]></description>

One of the most notable developments at the end of 1913 was the appearance of the Sopwith &#8216;Tabloid&#8217; tractor biplane. This single-seater, fitted with an 80 horsepower Gnome rotary engine, had the remarkable speed (for those days) of 92 miles an hour. A still more notable feature was that it could remain in level flight [...]]]></description>

The Sopwith &#8216;Pup&#8217; was fast, agile, and easy-to-fly, perhaps reflecting the fact that it was developed from the personal aircraft of Harry Hawker, Sopwith Aviation&#8217;s test pilot. 
Entering service in late summer of 1916, the Sopwith &#8220;Scout&#8221; (as it was officially termed) was one of the first British tractor biplanes with a synchonized machine gun. [...]]]></description>

From February to July 1917, one of the most unusual British fighters, the Sopwith Triplane, served in France. It had a short, but brilliant, career until it was superseded by the Sopwith Camel. During the six months that it flew, the [...]]]></description>
