Sopwith Camel Aces of World War 1 by Mark Styling
Responsible for destroying 1294 enemy aircraft between June 1917 and November 1918, the Camel was the most successful fighting scout employed by either side in terms of the sheer number of victories that it scored. The Camel was renowned for its sensitivity and need for skill and experience, and casualties amongst pilots undergoing training on the type were very high. More than 5490 examples were constructed, and this book covers its combat use on the Western Front, in Palestine, on the Italian front, in the Home Defence role in the UK and in Russia.Norman Franks is one of the worlds leading authorities on World War 1 fighter aviation, having published some of the seminal works on the subject. This is his fifth volume on World War 1 aces for Osprey.
Harry Dempsey has been passionate about World War 1 aviation for more than 30 years. He has illustrated a vast number of World War 1 titles in Osprey's ever-growing range of best-selling aviation titles.
