1917 SPAD XIIIc.I (replica)

On the same day the US Senate voted to declare war on Germany, one of the finest Allied fighter planes took flight for the first time. From its first flight on April 4, 1917 until the end of fighting on November 11, 1918, the SPAD XIII became one of the most desirable and widely used planes of the war. In 18 months, over 8000 planes were built and flown by French, American, British, Italian, Belgian, and Russian pilots.
