Herbert Smith (aircraft designer)
Herbert Smith (1889-1977) was a British aircraft designer.
Smith was born in Bradley, North Yorkshire, England, on May 1, 1889. As a youth, he attended Keighley Boys Grammar School, in West Yorkshire. Smith subsequently attended Bradford Technical College, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1907.〔Platt 2012, 43.109〕
Smith started his career with the Yorkshire machine-tool manufacturers Dean, Smith & Grace,〔 Crampton 1975, p. 228.〕 then became a draughtsman with Northampton lift manufacturers Smith, Major and Stephens.〔Platt 2012, 43.109〕 In March 1914, Smith joined the Sopwith Aviation Company as a draughtsman. Later that year, he became Sopwith's chief engineer.〔 Robertson 1970, p. 116.〕 Smith went on to design the Pup, Triplane, Camel, and Snipe. He worked for the Sopwith firm until it dissolved in October 1920.
In February 1921 the Mitsubishi Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturing Company in Nagoya invited Smith, along with several other former Sopwith engineers to assist Mitsubishi in creating an aircraft manufacturing division.〔 Peattie 2001, p. 24.〕 After moving to Japen, they designed the 1MT, B1M, 1MF, and 2MR.〔 Peattie 2001, p. 24.〕 Smith returned to England in 1924 and retired from the aviation industry.
