The Sopwith Pup was the forerunner of the hugely successful Sopwith
Camel, which duly became the most successful fighter of World War 1.
The first proper British fighting scout, the first Pups – the Royal
Naval Air Service – arrived on the Western Front in 1916. Although
regarded as a 'nice' aeroplane to fly, pilots who used it in combat
gained much success during the first half of 1917. The Royal Flying
Corps also used the Pup from January 1917 onwards, with the final
combats with the machine occurring in December of that year. This book
describes the combat careers of the successful Pup aces, how they flew
and how they fought.
