RAF S.E.5 ---------- 26 Skinpack The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 was a British biplane fighter aircraft of the First World War.
Together with the Camel, the S.E.5 was instrumental in regaining allied air superiority in mid-1917 and maintaining it
for the rest of the war.
The S.E.5 (Scout Experimental 5) was designed by Henry Folland, John Kenworthy and Major Frank Goodden of
the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough. It was built around the new 150 hp (112 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8 a V8 engine that,
while providing excellent performance, was initially underdeveloped and unreliable. The first of three prototypes flew on
22 November 1916.
Like the other significant Royal Aircraft Factory aircraft of the war (B.E.2, F.E.2 and R.E.8 ) the S.E.5 was inherently stable,
making it an excellent gunnery platform, but it was also quite maneuverable. It was one of the fastest aircraft of the war
at 138 mph (222 km/h), equal at least in speed to the SPAD S.XIII and faster than any standard German type of the period.
While the S.E.5 was not as agile and effective in a tight dogfight as the Camel it was much easier and safer to fly, particularly
for novice pilots.
The S.E.5 had one synchronized .303-inch Vickers machine gun to the Camel's two, but it also had a wing-mounted Lewis gun on
a Foster mounting, which enabled the pilot to fire at an enemy aircraft from below as well as providing two guns firing forward.
This was much appreciated by the pilots of the first S.E.5 squadrons as the new hydraulic-link "C.C." synchronizing gear for the
Vickers was unreliable at first.
Its greatest advantage over the Camel was its superior performance at altitude, making it a much better match for the Fokker D.VII
when that fighter arrived at the front.
Only 77 original S.E.5 aircraft were built before production settled on the improved S.E.5a version.
