SOPWITH CAMEL
No other Allied craft achieved more aerial victories in World War I than the quick and powerful Sopwith Camel. With one pilot, two machine guns, four wings and nine cylinders in its engine, the British bi-plane was credited with shooting down at least 1,294 enemy craft from mid-1917 to the end of the war, while some claim it racked up 3,000.
