WWI Package - Sopwith + Albatros
The Sopwith Snipe was designed in
1917 as the replacement for the Camel.
The Snipe began production in 1918 with
more than 4500 being produced. It offered
better visibility compared to the Camel. The
Snipe also had a superior rate of climb. The
Snipe was powered by a single Bentley
BR.2 rotary engine . It had a max speed of
121 mph compared with the Camel's 115
mph and an endurance of three hours. Its
armament consisted of two forward 0.303 in
(7.7 mm) Vickers machine guns and was
also able to be armed with up to four 25 lb
(11 kg) bombs, the same as the Camel.
The production of the Snipe ended in 1919,
with just under 500 being built, the rest
were cancelled due to cuts imposed on the
British armed forces post-WWI. By the early
1920s, the Snipe began to be phased out
of RAF service and by 1926, the Sopwith
Snipe's career with the RAF was over.
