Description
The Sopwith Camel was a British single-seat biplane, introduced on the Western Front in 1917. It was a superlative fighter, credited with shooting down 1,294 enemy aircraft, more than any other Allied fighter. It also served as a ground-attack aircraft, especially near the end of the conflict, when it was outclassed in the air-to-air role by newer fighters. It was equipped with two forward-firing synchronized machine guns mounted just ahead of the pilots cockpit under a raised fairing, which is said to have inspired the name Camel.
Sopwith Camel (Barker)
William Barker in 1917, flying on a Sopwith Camel, shot down 50 enemy aircraft on the Italian and Western fronts in twelve months, and he placed himself in the top 10 of Royal Air Force (RAF) aces.
