Sopwith Triplane
The Sopwith Triplane was a British fighter aircraft introduced in early 1917. It was successful in combat. However, it proved to be structurally weak, difficult to repair and poorly armed. It was withdrawn from active service when the Sopwith Camel arrived later in 1917. Pilots nicknamed the Triplane the Tripehound or the Tripe. This is a reproduction.
At the Museum of Flight, located south of downtown of Seattle, Washington. I visited this place on August 25, 2017.
