-----------------------
The Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin Fighter Aircraft. This is the 4 mg version as used by 87 Squadron. 2 forward firing Vickers and 2 forward firing, wing mounted Lewis Guns.
The Dolphin was an unorthidox design with a reverse stagger to it's upper wing that was not received well in spite of it's performance in the field.
Many pilots did not trust the design. With 20 victories, American Frederick Gillet scored more victories with the Sopwith Dolphin than any other ace.
