Sopwith was the name of the factory owner - Sopwith Aviation Company. It was called the Camel because of a hump near the cockpit.
snoopy (the dog) thinks he imagines that he is driving a sopwith camel.
The official name for the Pup was the Sopwith Scout. It was nicknamed Pup by pilots because it was quite a bit smaller than it's predecessor the Sopwith 11/2 Strutter. Although the nickname was never officially sanctioned, it set an interesting precedent for the Sopwith company - after the Pup, each airplane was given the name of mammal or bird - the Camel, the Snipe, the Cuckoo, the Dolphin, Hippo, etc.
The Camel is a bi-plane; 2 wings. Only the upper wing had control surfaces.
