EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the daring takeoff of a Sopwith 1.5 Strutter biplane from a makeshift turret-top platform on board a ship during the First World War. Circa 1916-1918, this image offers a unique glimpse into the early days of naval aviation. The Sopwith 1.5 Strutter, a two-seat biplane, was a significant contribution to the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) during the war. The photograph captures the moment of launch as the plane's powerful engine roars to life, propelling it off the water and into the sky. The improvisation of using a ship's turret as a launching platform speaks to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the pilots and crew during wartime. The Sopwith 1.5 Strutter was an essential asset for reconnaissance, scouting, and even dogfighting missions. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the aviators who braved the challenges of flying over the open sea. The Sopwith 1.5 Strutter's successful takeoff from a ship's turret marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation and naval warfare. The image also highlights the importance of the RNAS and RFC in the British military effort during WWI, as they provided crucial air support to the navy and army on both land and sea.
