Spad XIII as flown by "Eddie" Rickenbacker History:

The S.XIII is a biplane fighter aircraft manufactured by Societe Pour LAviation et ses Derives (SPAD). It was designed by Louis Bechereau and its maiden flight was on the 4th of April 1917. Its primary users are the Aeronautique Militaire, Royal Flying Corps, and the United States Army Air Service. The SPAD S.XIII is said to be the most capable fighter aircraft during the war and it was one of the most-produced having built of about 8,472 of it.

In 1916, the SPAD S.VII entered the service but it was surpassed by the latest German scouts in 1917. Georges Guynemer, French flying ace, entered an improved version. The S.XII was first produced by SPAD designer Louis but there are some flaws that need to be changed so they finally came up with the new version, the S.XIII.

The S.XIII is different from those of its predecessor. It has a number of aerodynamic and refinements including its larger wings. These improvements helped the aircraft to achieve greater increase in flight and combat performance. But just like other aircrafts, out of those positive characteristics the aircraft still has its own flaws such as its poor maneuverability especially at low speeds.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker scored 21 of his 26 victories in the Spad. Powered by a 220 hp Hispano-Suiza, the plane could cruise for two hours and attain speeds of nearly 130 mph.
