	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Sir Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith (1888 - 1989)
		The Cuckoo was the preferred type and was largely constructed by Blackburn at Brough in Yorkshire, who designed the depth setting mechanism for the torpedo slung under the fuselage.
		Sopwith's next fighter was delivered to "A" Squadron, RNAS which took delivery of the first Sopwith Pup (number 3691) prototype (which was joined by five additional prototypes, numbers 9496/7 and 9898-9900) for a service evaluation.
		The Sopwith aeroplane which was passed out by the Sopwith experimental department on April 26th, 1918, promised to perform that hazardous duty efficiently.

	Sopwith Aviation Company
		Sopwith aircraft were also used in varying numbers by the French, Belgian and American air services during the War.
		The Sopwith company was wound up in 1920 after failing to achieve sufficient success with civilian products (which had prompted the purchase of ABC Motors in 1919) to compensate for the drop in military aircraft orders after the end of the War and a potential large demand from the government for Excess War Profits Duty.
		Sopwith attempted to produce aircraft for the civil market based on their wartime types, such as the Dove derivative of the Pup and the Swallow, a single-winged Camel, but the wide availability of war-surplus aircraft at knock-down prices meant this was never economic.

	Sopwith Cuckoo
		The Sopwith Cuckoo was a bi-plane torpedo bomber used by the British Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), and its sucessor organisation, the Royal Air Force (RAF).
		It first flew in June 1917, with the first Cuckoo's being delivered in September 1918, meaning the Cuckoo was too late to be involved in the First World War.
		By 1st April 1923, the Cuckoo's career was over and the last squadron to use her, No. 210 Squadron, was disbanded.

		One thing you might be interested in is that the Sopwith Cuckoo, which you mention in relation to the aircraft carrier Argus, was designed specifically to carry out an attack on the High Seas Fleet in its home anchorage at Wilhelmshaven on the Jade River and the Austro Hungarian Fleet at Pola in the Adriatic.
		Some 200 Cuckoos had been ordered for the raid, which proposed using converted merchant ships fitted with flat-top decks — not to mention the early conversion of the cruisers Courageous and Glorious — half sisters of HMS Furious, into carriers.
		Another little footnote about the Cuckoo was that, in 1921 the British sent a Naval Mission to Japan equipped with six Cuckoos and a host of other naval aircraft, and 21 instructors with the task of training the fledgling Japanese navy air arm in operational procedures.

		With the Sopwith Pup there was finally available a plane that could climb high enough, and fast enough, to tackle the Zeppelins.
		On the 21st of August, 1917 a Sopwith Pup piloted by Second Lieutenant B. Smart, took off from such a ship, the HMS Yarmouth, which had been escorting a mine-laying force in the Heligoland Bight.
		Of the seven Sopwith Camels that took off one turned back with engine trouble, but the other six attacked the Zeppelin base at Tondern, destroying two airships and disabling the base for the rest of the war.

	Screenshot Tribute to FS2004
		In addition to performance improvements over FS2002, a greatly improved weather engine, better autogen and texturing, and superior aircraft animation-special effects features, the really big news with FS2004 was the inclusion of a number of vintage or classic default aircraft, which were in keeping with the century of flight theme.
		Missing in action, were the Sopwith Camel (which had been with Flight Simulator since its inception 20 years ago) and the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair warbird (from FS2002).
		This was the aircraft that Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, famous as “The Red Baron”, was best known as flying, though most of his air victories were with the Albatross DV biplane, the Red Baron’s official score was 80 air victories in WWI, the most of anyone from either side.

		This is Stuart's first FS2004 original design and it is of the first successful torpedo biplane, the Sopwith Cuckoo, first flown in 1918.
		Designed using Abacus' FSDSv2, Stuart's Sopwith Cuckoo is very accurate in appearance and comes in two liveries.
		With full animation (the pilot even has a white scarf blowing in the wind), multi-res textures, and custom 2D and dynamic 3D virtual cockpit, the Stuart Green Sopwith Cuckoo is quite interesting to fly.

		It also prepared its own bomber, the Type 7, a huge biplane with a 42ft wingspan, a Vickers machine gun and Sunbeam's Arab engine; the Sopwith B1 was faster, though, and was commissioned instead.
		The Mohawk was used in large numbers of Pemberton-Billing PB-7 flying boats, Wight 840 and Sopwith 860 seaplanes and Breguet biplanes, amongst others.
		Its most common applications were in the Norman-Thompson flying boats, the Sopwith Cuckoo bomber and the Bristol F.2B biplane.

		The design and layout of flight deck were tried out in a wind tunnel; a flush-deck design was adopted, with a small pilot house that could be lowered during flying operations.
		The first aircraft to be embarked were 18 Sopwith Cuckoo torpedo-dropping aircraft; it was hoped to use ARGUS in the projected attack on the German High Seas Fleet in 1919.
		With her reasonable speed; the wind-over-the-deck was adequate for most conditions, and she was considered a great success, although too late to participate in World War I. ARGUS joined the Grand Fleet in 1918, and served with Atlantic Fleet beginning in 1919.

	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		By the end of World War I, aeroplanes had successfully adopted the torpedo as a weapon.
		A proposed attack on the German fleet at anchor in 1918 using the Sopwith Cuckoo carrier-borne torpedo-bomber was considered and rejected - but it was only so long before such a technique would be adopted.
		In the 1920s, General Billy Mitchell of the United States Army Air Corps, believing that air forces had rendered navies around the world obsolete, presented his theory which claimed that aircraft could sink ships "under war conditions".

		In fact, Sopwith Camels were flown from "Argus" as late as 1920.
		The RAF had been created by the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service in 1918; consequently, the Royal Navy did not have its own air force, and flying personnel were from the RAF.
