The story of the Royal Air Force from creation, to 1918 when the air battle was fought in aircraft made of wood and wire, to the present day technology of the Tornado jet fighter. Combines rare and unseen footage and new film.
No, you have it wrong way round, mate. First came the Pup, then the Camel. The Pup was easy to fly, the Camel not so but an excellent dogfighter in appropriate hands.
The first sopwith biplane was a camel with it's distinctive hump at the cockpit area and the second sopwith was the pup, I believe the narrorator got it wrong.
That aircraft mentioned 4:33 is the Fokker Eindekker. Just thought that would be worth mentioning here.
