After "Bloody April," the Allied air services were in desperate need for a decisive edge to turn the air war around. When the unique Sopwith Admiralty Triplane showed up on the scene, German pilots found themselves faced with what von Richthofen called "the best Allied plane" in the air. It took only 140 Triplanes to force the Germans to surrender control of the air during the summer of 1917.
