===Postwar service=== In the aftermath of the First World War, the Camel saw further combat action. Multiple British squadrons were deployed into Russia as a part of the [[Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War]].<ref name = "Jackson 2007 8"/> Between the Camel and the S.E.5, which were the two main types deployed to the [[Caspian Sea]] area to bomb [[Bolshevik]] bases and to provide aerial support to the [[Royal Navy]] warships present, Allied control of the Caspian region had been achieved by May 1919. Starting in March 1919, direct support was also provided for [[White Russian forces]], carrying out reconnaissance, ground attack, and escort operations.<ref name = "Jackson 2007 8 10">Jackson 2007, pp. 8-10.</ref> During the summer of 1919, Camels of [[No. 47 Squadron RAF|No. 47 Squadron]] conducted offensive operations in the vicinity of [[Tsaritsyn]], primarily against [[Urbabk airfield]]; targets including enemy aircraft, cavalry formations, and river traffic. In September 1919, 47 Squadron was relocated to [[Kotluban]], where its aircraft operations mainly focused on harassing enemy communication lines.<ref name = "Jackson 2007 10"/> During late 1919 and early 1920, the RAF detachment operated in support of General [[Vladimir May-Mayevsky]]'s [[counter-revolutionary]] volunteer army during intense fighting around [[Kharkiv]]. In March 1920, the remainder of the force was evacuated and their remaining aircraft were deliberately destroyed to avoid them falling into enemy hands.<ref name = "Jackson 2007 10">Jackson 2007, p. 10.</ref>
