The potential value of aircraft at sea had been proven as early as the Battle of Jutland in 1916 and many experiments were undertaken to provide all significant warships with their own aircraft for spotting and reconnaissance purposes. One solution widely adopted was the fitting of flying off platforms to the main guns, as demonstrated here, as a Sopwith 1 strutter is launched from HMS Warspite in 1919.
