Historical Information and Application

The Sopwith Camel was one of the most important British fighter aircraft of World War I (1917-1918). The rotary Gnome engine was one of the key power units of this aircraft. Camel aircraft were used by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service of Great Britain, playing a significant role in air combat on the Western Front. Thanks to their maneuverability, they became legendary among fighter pilots of the era.
