That was the last iteration of the Sopwith .. they had a massive blower and used jet fuel ... they really got up to speed when the pilot manually cranked the wings into the swept back position ...
LOL! I googled “fastest WWI aircraft” & came up with planes I had never heard of. The quest for speed began even earlier (Deperdussin 1912).
Anyway, the Russians must like their Tu-95s because unlike our aging B-52 fleet, they are producing brand new Bear airframes. Maybe that just means our B-52’s are more durable.
