You know G, that's rather caught my imagination! Black Beauty it is!
My pleasure. My great grandfather was in the RFC in that War and he always said that in terms of looks and grace the Tripe was the best. Unfortunately not in the same league as the SE5a ( Albert Ball's favourite plane). the Sopwith Camel or the Bristol fighter when it came to stopping power
It was after being involved with a couple of dogfights with the Sopwith Tripe that Von Richthofen persuaded Antony Fokker to build the Fokker equivalent
