In 1913, Tommy Sopwith bought the lease on a former ice-skating rink in Kingston-upon-Thames and set up the Sopwith Aviation & Engineering Company. From this came thousands of the greatest combat aircraft of the WW1. The Camel was so-called because of its distinctive 'humped'back. It could reach speeds of 115 mph (185km/h) and attain heights of 19,000 feet. However, in inexperienced hands, the Camel could bite - the engine's torque was such that it had a tendancy to flip suddenly to the left on take off, but once mastered, was a superb dogfighter, destroying over 3000 enemy aircrat,a greater total than any other aircraft type. Over 5490 were built, many to foreign air arms.
