Description of  Sopwith Camel: King of Combat

Little fighter was in its heyday, its name remains synonomous with the world's first aerial struggle in 1914- 18. A pug-noseed, wilful biplane which was almost equally lauded or vilified by the men who flew it, the Camel emerged from that conflict as the most successful aerial combat having accounted for more of its opponents than any other single aircraft type of any nation participating in the war.
