EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Sopwith 7F1 Snipe, specifically the aircraft with the registration number E6955, which was built by the renowned partnership of Nieuport and General. The Sopwith 7F1 Snipe was a single-seat, biplane fighter aircraft that saw active service during the First World War. Nieuport and General, a collaboration between the British aircraft manufacturer Sopwith and the French aviation company Nieuport, was formed in 1916 to produce aircraft for the British military. The Sopwith 7F1 Snipe, with its distinctive angular design and robust construction, was a formidable addition to the Allied forces' arsenal. Powered by a 130 horsepower Le Rhône rotary engine, this agile and maneuverable aircraft was a favorite among pilots for its exceptional handling characteristics. The Snipe was primarily used as a scout and fighter, and its versatility made it an essential asset in both ground attack and reconnaissance roles. The photograph captures the Sopwith 7F1 Snipe, E6955, in a transport setting, likely on its way to the front lines. The plane's wings are folded, and it is being towed by a tractor, showcasing the ease with which these aircraft could be transported and deployed. This image offers a unique glimpse into the logistical aspects of the First World War, as well as the critical role that aircraft played in the conflict.
