Norman M. MacGregor was one of 29 Aces to fly with 10 Squadron. He moved to the squadron as a flight commander from 6 Naval Squadron in late 1917 and finished the war with 7 (possibly 8) kills to his name with the last two being gained in Camel B6299. As a ‘B’ Flight aircraft it was identified by the white ‘B’ on the sides of the fuselage and the distinctive red and white striping around the cowling area and on the rear decking behind the cockpit.

The Sopwith Aviation Company produced the Camel F.1, a famous biplane of World War I. First flown in 1916, The Camel was the most successful fighter plane of the war and difficult to defeat when flown by a skilled pilot. Although highly maneuverable the Sopwith Camel was tricky to fly and more men lost their lives while learning to fly it than did during combat.
