He was the chief test pilot for Sopwith and was also involved in the design of many of their aircraft. After World War One he co-founded Hawker Aircraft, the firm that would later be responsible for a long series of successful military aircraft. "

Sopwith, I B 1

    Obviously a French 1 1/2 Strutter, the rudder gives SOP I B 1. The distinctive markings on the fuselage side needs some further research.
  • Buck-Jo said:
    Hello Mr Kort The following explanations only concern examples built under license by French companies.
    French aeronautics used it in three forms:
    - SOP 1 A 2: reconnaissance two-seater.
    - SOP 1 B 1: single-seater bombing.
    - SOP 2 B 2: two-seater bomber.

    74 French squadrons used it during WW1 (examples built in France and imported from GB)

    French manufacturers built 4,797 examples under license.
    To which must be added the copies directly delivered by Sopwith.
