Brief history:
The Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter entered service from 1916 and was used primarily during World War I. This aircraft was notable for its characteristic construction – "one-and-a-half wing" (1 ½), resulting from the use of a smaller lower wing supported by struts from the fuselage to the main wing. The Comic version was specially adapted for combating airships and bombers during night defensive patrols over Britain. The aircraft was used until the end of the war, and in the postwar period also served as a training aircraft.
