Attempt Deck Forward Furious Landing Sopwith Subsequent
EDITORS COMMENTS
Sqn Cdr E.H. Dunnings and his Sopwith Pup, N6453, make a daring landing on the forward deck of HMS Furious during a subsequent attempt on August 7, 1917. The First World War was in full swing, and the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier, HMS Furious, played a crucial role in transporting aircraft to the Western Front. In this photograph, we see Sqn Cdr Dunnings skillfully maneuvering his Sopwith Pup biplane onto the small, moving platform, as the crew on deck prepare to secure the aircraft. The Sopwith Pup was a single-seat, biplane fighter and trainer, widely used by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service during the war. The successful landing of aircraft on the deck of a moving ship was a challenging and complex operation, requiring precise coordination between the pilot, the crew, and the ship's officers. This photograph captures the tense moment of triumph as Sqn Cdr Dunnings brings his aircraft to a safe and secure stop on the deck of HMS Furious, ready for its next mission.
