Wings of Glory: Sopwith Camel

The Sopwith Camel was a British single seat biplane, introduced on the Western Front in 1917. It was a superlative fighter, credited with shooting down 1,294 enemy aircraft, more than any other Allied fighter. It also served as a ground attack aircraft, especially near the end of the conflict, when it was outclassed in the air to air role by newer fighters. It was equipped with two forward firing synchronized machine guns mounted just ahead of the pilots cockpit under a raised fairing, which is said to have inspired the name Camel.

Each Wings of Glory Airplane Pack is a complete painted and ready to play model in 1/144 scale, including a maneuver deck and gaming base.
