Historical Information

The Sopwith Camel is one of the most famous and effective British fighter planes of the First World War (1914-1918). Introduced into service in 1917, it was mainly used by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Renowned for its outstanding maneuverability, the characteristic hump around the cockpit, and exceptional combat effectiveness—according to Allied pilots' statistics, the Sopwith Camel shot down more aircraft than any other machine in the World Conflict. It took part in many of the most important campaigns on the Western Front and remained the backbone of British fighter aviation until the very last days of the war.
