The Dove is a two-seater version of the famous Pup, one of the most delightful of Service machines as far as ease of flying is concerned.

A sporting two-seater, the Dove first flew in March 1919, and like the Pup was powered by an 80hp Le Rh ne rotary engine. In August 1919, Sopwith s advertisement in Flight magazine announced: The Sopwith Dove is a sporting and utility aeroplane, based, in point of design and general arrangement upon the famous Sopwith Pup . With its fast climb, high-speed, quick manoeuvrability and wide speed range it is an ideal safety-first pleasure aircraft.
