An apparently simple design, this aircraft became forever established in world aviation history with the short and appropriate name Camel. Of course, its resemblance to a real camel was minimal, but its 'hump' left no choice for any other name. When its advantages over other types became clear, no less than nine subcontractors were asked to contribute to its mass production; but, the Camel was not an easy machine to handle and the inexperience of many young pilots caused some serious flying accidents. Nevertheless, extraordinary maneuverability, a fast climb rate, good speed and powerful armament made the Camel a really superb fighter. More than 5,000 were built and no less than 1,294 aerial victories were scored by this type - the best possible proof that the Camel deserved to be called a legend.
