The Sopwith 7F.1 Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter from World War I. Designed by Herbert Smith, it replaced the Sopwith Camel in 1918. The Snipe was built for better performance and stability, excelling in high-altitude combat.
Powered by the Bentley BR.2 rotary engine, the Snipe delivered 230 horsepower. It reached a top speed of 121 mph and climbed rapidly during dogfights. Its sturdy construction and maneuverability gave pilots an advantage in challenging aerial engagements. The aircraft came equipped with two Vickers machine guns, providing reliable firepower in battle.
After the war, the Sopwith Snipe became the Royal Air Force’s standard fighter. It remained in service until the mid-1920s. Today, restored models appear at air shows and museums. These events honor the Snipe’s legacy as one of the last great biplane fighters.
