Description

1917 British Sopwith Triplane Folk Art home made c.1950/60s Silver painted wood with wooden propeller and wheels also movable , Some repairs to spokes otherwise in good to fair condition, minor scratches. Size- 57cm long x 47.5 cm wide x 27.5 cm high Background History In the Spring of 1917, a new type of fighter began to appear alongside the traditional biplane types. The British Sopwith Triplane, although under-armed, boasted an astonishing rate of climb and excellent manoeuvrability giving it a real edge over the Albatros D.III. As a result, German aeroplane designers embarked on producing their own triplane but only one, that from Fokker, was to achieve production, service and legendary status – the Dr.I. One of the very first examples of the Fokker Triplane was flown at the Front by Leutnant Werner Voss, second only to von Richthofen in number of victories.
