Sopwith Camel
The museum's Sopwith Camel is a reproduction aircraft which was started in the 1970s and completed in 1992. The fuselage was built by Nat deFlavia and the wings were built by Cole Palen. It is powered with a 160 hp Gnome Rotary engine. In 1999 the airplane was refurbished by Gene Demarco and a small crew of assistants in Florida and is presently finished in the markings of an aircraft from #10 squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service.
