The Sopwith Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter that soared into the skies in the late stages of World War I. As the successor to the renowned Sopwith Camel, the Snipe was a symbol of aerial dominance, boasting a more powerful engine, improved flight characteristics, and better visibility for the pilot. Entering service in 1918, it quickly proved itself as a formidable adversary to any opponent. With its 230hp Bentley BR2 rotary engine, it could reach speeds of up to 121 mph and climb to 10,000 feet in just over 10 minutes. Although it arrived too late to significantly impact the war's outcome, its performance in the hands of skilled pilots was legendary, engaging in dogfights that showcased its superior maneuverability and firepower. The Snipe served as the Royal Air Force's primary fighter until being replaced in the late 1920s, leaving behind a legacy of aerial excellence that marked the end of the biplane fighter era.
