Two historic fighters were flown side by side to showcase the advance in technology in only 20 years! The Sopwith Camel and the Supermarine Spitfire are icons of their respective eras, both efficient designs that were very effective. The Sopwith Camel was first flown in 1916 and the Supermarine Spitfire made its maiden flight March 6, 1936.

Lamb in a Spitfire .. Majestic!!
Seeing the Camel run through her ignition process ... Terrifying!!
Allows you to begin to understand the sheer terror the WW1 pilots must have felt simply starting their planes ... showcases how brave these pilots really were, to be able to overcome their fear barrier and maintain effective dogfighting skills.... Amazingly Courageous!!
Watching these two iconic warbirds in formation ... Spellbinding!!
This video moves me .. thank you!
