Which nation built the best model of planes during world war 1?
Arguably the Germans. Their planes dominated the air war until 1917 with the arrival of the French Spad and the British Sopwith Pup / Camel and the SE5A. Their designs were simply much, much better than the English ones were. Germany built many good fight planes. One of the best built later in the war was the Fokker D-VII. Italy became a leading nation in aviation design and accomplishments after the war. During the war, they produced a scout/fighter plane that some say rivaled the German Fokker that was called Ansaldo SV-5. Really cool airplane.
Who made the Fokker fighter planes?
Fokker Flugzeugwerke GmbH was the company formed by Anthony Fokker, but controlled by the German government, that manufactured the famous Fokker fighter planes of World War I.
Why is Sopwith Camel Important?
Type your answer here... The Sopwith Camel was one of the best British fighters in WW1, which followed a series of earlier Sopwith designs. It was a great fighter and was agile to fly. This British aircraft was credited with downing more enemy aircraft than any other Allied plane. However, it was a little tricky during landing and take-off and almost as many of them were destroyed by accidents as destroyed in combat. The aircraft got its name "Camel" because of the hump on top of the fuselage behind the engine cowling that partially covered the twin machine guns. Actually only about 400 were destroyed, most in training accidents, with over 1,294 confirmed victories in World War I. It was flown by British, American and Canadian pilots mainly, but because the engine rotated around a stationary crankshaft there was a lot of torque on the airframe. To an unsuspecting pilot this could put them in great danger. JetAviator7 http://sopwith-camel.com
