Historical description of Sopwith 1.B1

Sopwith 1.B1 is a rare single-engine bomber developed based on proven design solutions by the Sopwith Aviation Company engineers. It was mainly used by the Royal Flying Corps of Great Britain during the last years of World War I (1917-1918). Unlike the fighter variants in this line, the Sopwith 1.B1 was adapted to carry a light bomb load and conduct tactical raids on enemy lines. It played a vital role in frontline operations by increasing the mobility of the Entente air forces.
