You have to visualize the “One & a Half strutter” as a nick name. This
came about in the way the upper wing was attached to the fuselage. This
was done with a pair of short (half) struts and a pair of longer
struts. They formed a “W” when viewed from the front. The outboard
supporting struts were not part of this eccentric nick naming.

Remember this comes from the company which gave us the “Camel” because
of a hump over the gun cowl.

The pic below shows the struts.
