EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of takeoff for a Sopwith Pup biplane from the deck of HMS Furious during the First World War. HMS Furious, a modified Courageous-class cruiser launched in 1916, played a significant role in both World Wars. In this image, the British aircraft carrier, with its distinctive funnel and flight deck, can be seen in the background. The Sopwith Pup, a single-seat biplane, was a popular choice for the Royal Naval Air Service due to its agility and maneuverability. The photograph dates back to the period between 1916 and 1918, when HMS Furious was actively involved in the war effort. The ship was modified to accommodate aircraft, making it one of the world's first aircraft carriers. The Sopwith Pup, with its wings folded, is carefully positioned on the deck, ready for takeoff. A crew member stands nearby, signaling the pilot to rev up the engine. With a powerful thrust, the biplane lifts off the deck, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. This iconic image is a testament to the groundbreaking advancements in aviation and naval warfare during the First World War. HMS Furious and the Sopwith Pup represent the pioneering spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the era. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of military aviation and the pivotal role that aircraft carriers have played in shaping the course of world events.
