The Sopwith Triplane was a British fighter aircraft built by the Sopwith Aviation Company during World War I. First flown on May 28, 1916, the Triplane entered operational service with Britain’s Royal Navy Air Service in late 1916 with No. 1 Naval Squadron. Although highly successful, the Triplane was built in fairly small numbers and was withdrawn from active service when Sopwith Camels arrived in the latter half of 1917. By the end of 1917, surviving Triplanes were relegated for use as advanced trainers. A total of 147 Triplanes were built.
