Sopwith Pup
Первый одноместный истребитель-разведчик, разработанный конструктором "Sopwith" Гербертом Смитом, назвали Pup (щенок), так как этот самолет был прямым потомком двухместного Sopwith 1 1/2-Strutter.
Самолет Admiralty Type 9901 сохранил те же пропорции бипланной коробки, как у 1 1/2-Strutter, но размах крыла был уменьшен на 20%. С самого начала он был оснащен 80-сильным (60 кВт) ротативным ПД Le Rhone. Несмотря на малую мощность последнего, самолет зарекомендовал себя как очень маневренный и эффективный истребитель, что красноречиво говорит о его удачной конструкции.
По заказу Адмиралтейства опытный отдел компании "Sopwith" в феврале 1916 года передал прототип Pup и еще пять таких самолетов для испытаний морской авиации, пилоты которой высоко оценили машину. Все они отмечали высокие характеристики и отличную управляемость самолета.
Производство разворачивалось медленно, и Pup поступили в подразделения Королевского авиакорпуса и авиации ВМС лишь в конце лета 1916 года. В то время шла великая битва на Сомме, продолжавшаяся с середины и до конца 1916 года, в которой британская авиация несла тяжелые потери. Поэтому в Дюнкерке была сформирована знаменитая 8-я эскадрилья ВМС ("Naval Eight"), вооруженная Pup, которую отправили на юг для участия в сражении. Успех нового подразделения оказался столь впечатляющим, что сухопутные и морские авиаторы срочно затребовали больше Pup. К концу года этим небольшим истребителем были вооружены 54-я, 46-я и 66-я эскадрильи Авиакорпуса и 2-я, 4-я, 9-я, 11 -я и 12-я эскадрильи авиации ВМС.
Самолет превосходил более мощные германские истребители благодаря своей отличной маневренности, которую, в числе прочих, обеспечивала низкая нагрузка на крыло. Истребитель также обладал хорошими характеристиками на больших высотах.
Эффективным оказался и синхронизированный пулемет, так что в сочетании с маневренностью и высотными характеристиками Pup сумели избежать тяжелых потерь во время "Кровавого апреля" 1917 года.
Несмотря на относительно невысокую максимальную скорость и вооружение всего из одного пулемета, Pup мог на равных вести борьбу с такими истребителями противника, как Albatros D III.
Самолет также использовался в системе ПВО Британии, и многие предназначенные для этих задач Pup получили 100-сильные (75 кВт) ротативные ПД Gnome Monosoupape. Это повысило их скороподъемность и другие летные характеристики, превратив Pup в эффективные перехватчики.
В ВМС самолет сыграл важную роль в освоении действий авиации с кораблей. Pup, пилотируемый Е. Г. Даннигом произвел первую посадку на идущий в море корабль, приземлившись на палубу авианосца "Фьюриес" 2 августа 1917 года.
Pup несли службу на борту первых авианосцев, нескольких легких крейсеров и даже тяжелых кораблей, таких как линкор "Рипалс" и тяжелый крейсер "Тайгер", стартуя с платформ над орудийной башней. Фирма "Beardmore" разработала палубный вариант W.B.III со складывающимся крылом и убирающимся шасси.
В общей сложности было построено 1770 самолетов Pup.

In 1972 its current owner, Kelvyne Baker, discovered the remains of the fuselage in a barn in Dorset, and set to work restoring it. The restoration of the sole surviving Standard-built Pup to airworthy condition, at Baker’s workshop near Weston-super-Mare, is ongoing, the wings and le Rhone rotary engine having been fitted.

Первая посадка на палубу корабля. 2 августа 1917г.: майор Э. Даннинг посадил Sopwith Pup на палубу авианосца "Фьюриес", шедшего со скоростью 26 узлов (48 км/ч) при ветре 21 узел (39 км/ч), что создавало встречное сопротивление 47 узлов (87 км/ч). Это стало первой посадкой самолета на плывущий корабль. Ухватившись за крыльевые стойки и хвост самолета, палубная команда задержала и остановила машину. При попытке повторить посадку 7 августа у Даннинга заглох двигатель, и самолет вылетел за борт "Фьюриес". Даннинг погиб, но он показал принципиальную возможность осуществления посадки обычного самолета на палубу идущего корабля.

The Sopwith Pup was genuinely liked by its Royal Navy and Royal Flying Corps pilots for its agility and friendly handling qualities. It was this ease of handling that the Royal Navy sought to exploit when they put Pups aboard both cruisers and the early aircraft carriers during the first half of 1917. Shown here is one of the skid-equipped Sopwith 9901A Pups, aimed at improving carrier deck landing and development of which culminated in flight trials aboard HMS Furious during April 1917. In the event, this cumbersome looking and dangerous apology for a landing system was abandoned in favour of the conventional wheeled type. One sea-going Pup, launched from a 20-ft-long platform on the light cruiser, HMS Yarmouth, did manage to carve a niche in the annals of military aviation, when, on 21 August 1917, in the hands of Sub Lieutenant B.A. Smart, it shot down Zeppelin L.23.

Breakage of a contact breaker spring caused a forced landing in a field at Fowlmere, some 3 miles south-west of Duxford. The next day the road was cleared by police and the Pup was towed in. It should have flown again by the time we went to press.

The airfield scene looked a bit of a battlefield when Aeroplane visited Yeovilton - it will look even more so when the exhibition opens.
Sections of wartorn French airfields cover the exhibition’s central area, complete with sandbags, mud and shellholes (visitors will not need to bring Wellington boots, though). Here the museum’s Sopwith Camel, Triplane, Pup, Spad XIII and Albatros D Va replicas, together with Robin Bowes’ Fokker Dr I replica G-BEFR, are displayed against a vast, sombre backdrop mural of the Western Front. For more theatrical effect the Spad will be standing on its nose as if crashed and the Sopwith Triplane will be suspended from the ceiling - “but we believe it will still satisfy the purist”, says Mottram. Lighting will remain at normal levels, permitting fairly easy photography.Другие самолёты на фотографии: Albatros D.V/D.Va - Германия - 1917Sopwith Camel / F.1 - Великобритания - 1916Sopwith Triplane - Великобритания - 1916SPAD S.XIII - Франция - 1917

A complaint to the AID in 1917 stated that engine bearers of the Sopwith Pup were weak, as they broke when the aircraft tilted up on its nose - a fairly frequent occurrence. The official reply was that this was fortuitous, as it prevented greater damage to the engine!

Aviation Historian 26 / P.Jarrett - Montrose at war
Регистрационный номер : C287 It is difficult to imagine just what happened for Avro 504J B4350 and Sopwith Pup C287 to end up in this predicament, but it was probably a taxying accident. The Pup was from a batch built by the Standard Motor Co, and the Avro, with a Gnome Monosoupape rotary engine, was built by the parent company. Intriguingly, there is a civilian schoolboy in the foreground on the right! The Avro spent its time with Nos 18 and 36 TSs and then with No 32 TDS, undergoing several changes of engine during its life. The Pup was with No 18 TS by June 1, 1918, but was deleted on June 11 - perhaps as a result of this mishap.
