| | Sopwith Aviation Company |
 | | The Sopwith Aviation Company was a British aircraft company that designed and manufactured aeroplanes mainly for the British Royal Flying Corps, Royal Naval Air Service and later Royal Air Force in the First World War, most famously the Sopwith Camel. |
 | | This aircraft, better known as the 1 1/2 Strutter due to its unconventional cabane strut arrangement, was used from 1916 by both the RNAS, RFC and the French Aviation Militaire as a single-seat bomber, two seat fighter and artillery spotter and trainer. |
 | | Hawker and its successors produced many more famous military aircraft, including the inter-war Hart, Demon, World War 2 Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest, and the post-war Sea Fury, Hunter and Harrier. |
