Who invented the Sopwith camel airplane?
Sopwith F.1 Camel was one of the fighter aircraft built by the British company Sopwith that was owned by Sir Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith, C.B.E.. This aircraft was a derivation of the Sopwith Pup. There were at least 3 prototype versions before the design was finalized. These were identified as F.1/1 and F.1/2 and F.1/3. These were test flown at Martlesham in May 1917. The final design used the 130-hp Clerget 9B and 150-hp B.R.1 engines.This aircraft was the first British plane to go into combat with twin guns that were synchronized to fire through the propeller arc. The twin machine guns mounted on top of the fuselage were covered by a fairing thus giving it a 'hump' on the otherwise straight lines of the aircraft---thus the name the "Camel". The version used by the British Navy removed the fuselage mounted guns and mounted twin Lewis guns over the top wing, thus eliminating the "camel hump".References:"Aeroplanes and Flyers of the First World War" (1973) by Joseph A.

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
