Re: Planes Of The First War In The Air

Nice work Paul...a great thread.
The Sopwith Camel also gained a reputation as difficult to fly. In the hands of an expert it was a formidable opponent but in the hands of a novice, it was a death trap.
The SPAD (an acronym for something...I'll find out) VII and XIII were awesome aircraft for the time...notably in the hands of American ace Eddie Rickenbacker who hungered to fly the type from the first time he saw one.
