You sir are correct in that more "victories" have been attributed to the camel than any other aircraft type (1,294). Having a production run of nearly 5,500 aircraft helps!
Anyway, the single aircraft that scored more victories than any other was the Sopwith Camel B6313, flown by the British ace William Barker. Barker flew it on the Italian front starting from november 1917: he flew it for 379 hours, scoring 46 victories on it. B6313 has been retired from service and destroyed the 2nd of october, 1918.
I am working on a card game about WWI planes. You'll find Barker's Camel in the very first box, together with other meaningful Camels... And some of you can have a surprise.
If we authors manage to do it, there will also be a little site with historical background. We'll keep you updated.
