Sopwith Snipe
The Sopwith 7F.1 Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was designed and built by the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War, and came into squadron service a few weeks before the end of that conflict, in late 1918.
The Snipe was not a fast aircraft by the standards of its time, but its excellent climb and manoeverability made it a good match for contemporary German fighters.
It was selected as the standard post-war single seat RAF fighter - the last examples were not finally retired until 1926.
