- The Sopwith Camel was a British First World War single-seat biplane fighter introduced on the Western Front in 1917. From July 1917, when it reached the Front, until the Armistice, the Camel accounted for no less than 1,294 victories, more than any other aircraft in World War I. The Camel was used in the Battle of Ypres in July 1917 and participated on offensive patrols and ground strafing. The Camel also served as a light bomber and in one operation the No. 28 and 70 squadrons bombed the Rumbeke Aerodrome with twenty-two 25 lb bombs.
