About this image
The Sopwith Camel was a British First World War single-seat biplane fighter aircraft introduced on the Western Front in 1917. It was developed by the Sopwith Aviation Company as a successor to the earlier Sopwith Pup and became one of the most iconic fighter aircraft of the First World War.
The Camel was powered by a single rotary engine and was armed with twin synchronized machine guns. Though proving difficult to handle, it provided for a high level of maneuverability to an experienced pilot, an attribute which was highly valued in the type's principal use as a fighter aircraft. In total, Camel pilots have been credited with the shooting down of 1,294 enemy aircraft, more than any other Allied fighter of the conflict. Towards the end of the Great War, the type had also seen use as a ground-attack aircraft, partially due to it having become increasingly outclassed as the capabilities of fighter aircraft on both sides were rapidly advancing at that time.

What my clients say
Love my night time photograph of Chicago! The colors and quality of the photo are beautiful. I ordered and received my order within a week. Can’t wait to hang this on our wall!! Thanks Adam!
Bought one of Adam's prints as a gift for my wife on her birthday and we both love it. He emailed me to let me know there could be a delay because of the fires in California, and he was upgrading our shipping. It arrived on time and was packaged very securely.
We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
