Medium Sopwith Plane Model

In the hands of experienced pilots these planes were good for close combat. The Sopwith Camel and the Sopwith Pup were famous and popular planes, their exploits and successes good for filling newspapers and magazines of the day...

This historic biplane was designed and built in the USA during and after WWI. More than 10,000 of these front-engine biplanes were built. The Jenny's fabric covered wings were braced by wood struts and rigged with a maze of turnbuckle wires. The original Jennys had no brakes and fast landing planes risked hitting fences or ending up in a ditch. Landing speed was about 45 mph. Our plane models are handmade of fabric covering a wood frame. The frame is a true miniature reproduction closely resembling the construction and appearance of the original big Jennys.
