Model History and Information: Sopwith Camel B7190 was flown by Walter Hinchliffe, a Liverpool-born pilot of the Royal Naval Air Service who scored his first victory in a Camel on 3 February 1918. As commanding officer of 'C' Flight, Hinchliffe had his aircraft painted with the words 'Donner Wetter' ('thunderstorm' in German) on the fuselage sides, the Liverpool coat of arms on the spine, and small devil motifs on the wheel covers. Flying B7190, he claimed further victories before the Armistice, finishing the war with six confirmed victories. Hinchliffe later became a transatlantic aviator and disappeared during a 1928 crossing attempt.
