The Valiant Mk.3 was a mono seat pusher biplane fighter developed by Forsvarer-Stål in 1913 as a replacement for the Valiant Mk.2, an aircraft with a similar build, but a non-anchored weapon. The Valiant Mk.3 is notable for being the first aircraft to successfully shoot down another plane on April 7th 1913 when Magnus Griffiths engaged and shot down a Möhring 1 trench spotting aircraft.
