This book presents the evolution of one of the most famous
French-made fighter aircraft of WWI-the fast, rugged Spad. From
humble beginnings this airplane became the mount for such famous
WWI aces as Frenchmen Georges Guynemer and Rene Fonck, American
Eddie Rickenbacker, Italian Francesco Baracca, and many others.
Illustrated with rare WWI-era photographs, this book examines how
the Spad was conceived, built, and flown. Examples of surviving
Spad aircraft are highlighted, as well as where they may be seen
today all over the world. The book also profiles several
still-existing aerodromes in the US where visitors can see a Spad
being built, such as the Golden Age Air Museum in Pennsylvania. Or
pay a visit to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in New York and see the
only flying Spad VII replica in the world! Part of the Legends of
Warfare series.
