The Sopwith Aviation Company was one of the most prolific aircraft manufacturers of the Great War period.

famous for its Pup, Camel and Triplane designed.

The 100-page edition of the Company Profile series looks at all the types produced by this prolific manufacturer
from the 1912 Sopwith Wright Biplane to its post-war attempts to break into the civilian light aircraft market.

It could be argued that Hawkers was actually Sopwith with a name change… & as Hawkers bought out AV Roe before WWII it eventually lead to the Sopwith Vulcan 😉
