Sopwith 5F Dolphin single-seat fighter
Sopwith 5F1 Dolphin single seat fighter, first flown in mid-1917. It was later used for air support, in particular trench and ground strafing. Seen here is the fourth prototype in close-up view, with the crossbar mounted, and the two upward firing Lewis guns which could swing and strike the pilot in the face -- an unfortunate design fault. Date: circa 1917
