EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of wartime aviation during the First World War, with the Westland N1B single-seat floatplane fighter taking center stage. Built in 1916, this innovative aircraft was one of only two produced for shipboard use, making it a unique addition to the British military's aerial arsenal. The N1B was a biplane design, featuring two wings connected by interplane struts, and was powered by a Beardmore 230 hp engine. The image shows the N1B undergoing construction in a workshop setting, with workers carefully assembling the various components. The plane's distinctive float landing gear is clearly visible, making it ready for takeoff on water-based missions. The N1B was first flown in August 1917, and while its military service was brief, it represented an important step forward in the development of floatplane fighters. The photograph transports us back in time to the early days of aviation history, when innovation and ingenuity were key to gaining an advantage in the skies. The Westland N1B floatplane fighter stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of the aviation industry during the First World War.
