Denny:
England was more interested in French engines than airframes, which they built themselves. They bought Gnômes, LeRhônes, Clergets and Hispano-Suiza engines and also the license to manufacture them in England. All French aircraft in 1917-1918 were armed with the Vickers machine gun. The Lewis was an American machine gun which was license built in England and France. France was planning to build under license the Sopwith Dolphin, powered with the 300 Hp Hisso, it would have gone into Escadrille service in 1919.
