A highly maneuverable fighter plane used during World War I (1914-1918). The Sopwith Camel was a biplane fighter used by the Allied forces. Armed with dual machine gun armament firing through the spinning propeller blade. The engine had inherent torque and the plane had a propensity to pull to the right. This became an advantageous situation for experienced Sopwith Camel pilots, also referred to as Camel Jockeys. Knowing that the plane pulled to the right they were able to use that to make quick-banking and rolling maneuvers.

En mycket manövrerbara jaktplan som användes under första världskriget (1914-1918). Sopwith Camel var ett biplan jaktplan som används av de allierade styrkorna. Beväpnad med dubbla kulspruta beväpning sköt genom spinning propellerblad. Motorn hade inneboende vridmoment och planet hade en benägenhet att dra till höger. Detta blev en fördelaktig situation för erfarna Sopwith Camel piloter, även kallad Camel Jockeys. Att veta att planet drog till höger de skulle kunna använda som att göra snabb-banking och rullande manövrar.
