Sopwith Pup |

The Pup was a
single-seat fighting scout and the forerunner to the more famous Camel.
It was named Pup because it looked like a baby 1½ Strutter. The Pup was
nearly perfect in flying qualities. Delightful to fly, very small,
simple and reliable with a generous wing area for a good rate of climb
and agility. It had excellent performance at height. It was soon
underpowered for combat on the Western Front against Albatros DIIIs, but
it could turn twice in the radius of a single turn by an Albatros. This
aircraft established the reputation of Naval 8 RNAS in late 1916 when
they racked up 20 kills. After removal from the front it was used as a
Home Defense unit fighter against Zeppelins. |
