Sopwith Camel F.1 B6313, Major William George 'Billy' Barker, C/O RAF No.139  Squadron, Italy September 1918
The agile and highly manoeuvrable Sopwith Camel was without doubt one of the most successful ?ghter aircraft of the First World War and accounted for more enemy aircraft destroyed than any other British type. Named Camel as a result of the hump shaped fairing that housed the two 0.303 in Vickers machine guns, this supreme ?ghter aircraft was a real handful to operate effectively, with the torque from its powerful rotary engine constantly trying to ?ip the Camel into a potentially life threatening spin. If tamed, the Camel was the ?nest ?ghting aircraft yet produced and was superior to all contemporary German ?ghters. During the 17 months of its operational service at the end of WWI, Sopwith Camel pilots would claim an average of 76 aerial victories each month, helping the Allied air forces wrestle air supremacy from the Luftstreitkrafte.
