TRANSCRIPT
The French SPAD XIII was a development of the SPAD VII. The SPAD VII was flown by Georges Guynemer, who was not particularly pleased with the type, especially when compared to the aircraft flown by his German adversaries. He took his concerns directly to the manufacturer. Because by this time, Guynemer was already well known in French life in general, his concerns were taken seriously. With that, the groundwork for the development of two more models were laid, the SPAD XII and SPAD XIII. While the SPAD XII was armed with a 37 mm cannon, and as such saw limited production and use by very experienced pilots, the SPAD XIII saw much more widespread use. Thanks to the use of a more powerful Hispano-Suiza HS 8Be engine rated at 220 hp, and later the HS 8BEe (235 hp), the main drawback of the previous model in the form of inadequate armament could be addressed, and the SPAD XIII received two Vickers machine guns with 400 rpg. The head designer of the type, Louis Bechereau also enlarged the airframe slightly, and strengthened it. The first prototype of the SPAD XIII was flown by Second Lieutenant Rene Dorme on April 4th, 1917. Due to a heavier weight, the new type didn’t achieve the maneuverability of its predecessor, but it did display a better rate of climb, and a faster speed of 215 km/h. The performance of the new type was such that contracts were immediately awarded for large production numbers. This was ultimately participated in by nine manufacturers (SPAD, A.C.M., Bernard, Bleriot, Borel, Kellner, Levasseur, Nieuport, and SAFCA). The new type began reaching units during the summer of 1917. The type was flown by a list of well-known and successful pilots - Frenchman Rene Fonck (75 kills), Italian Francesco Baracca (34 kills), Americans Eddie Rickenbacker (26 victories), Frank Luke (18 kills) and the aforementioned Georges Guynemer. Besides the French air force, the SPAD XIII was also flown by Great Britain, USA, Italy, Belgium, and, after the First World War, with Poland and the former Czechoslovakia. Originally, the aircraft had rounded wingtips, but these soon reverted back to the squared off tips of the SPAD VII. This kit is dedicated to aircraft of the initial production phase.

Combat operations were also participated in by citizens of countries outside of the warring nations. Among them was Paris-born, but Swiss by citizenship, Jacques Roques. He flew with Escadrille No.48, which had a rooster head as its emblem. Its motto was ‘Chante et Combat’ (Sing and Fight), which seemed rather appropriate at the time. Roques gained five confirmed kills with the French air force, and two more unconfirmed ones, all while serving with Escadrille No.48.

Only a few fliers were able to achieve the honor of becoming certified celebrities in their lifetime. Into this category, we can certainly add without reservation the Frenchman Georges Guynemer. Georges Guynemer entered the armed forces as a volunteer in November 1914. He joined the air force in April 1915, where he would end up with Escadrille No.3, at the time equipped with the Morane-Saulnier monoplane. His first victory came by July 15th, 1915, and continually rose to eventually hit 53. He also had 35 unconfirmed kills. His most productive day came on May 25th, 1917, when he accounted for four confirmed victories. He became the first allied pilot to down a German Gotha G.III on February 8th, 1917. On the other hand, he managed to survive being shot down seven times, despite never having a parachute at his disposal. Guynemer’s fate was sealed on September 11th, 1917, during combat. He fell victim to Lt. Kurt Wissemann, member of Jasta 3.

This aircraft was built under license by Kellner, one of nine manufacturers of the SPAD XIII. On February 19th, 1918, Lt. Hewett shot down a German two-seat aircraft flying this SPAD. A week later, on February 26th, 1918, this aircraft fell into the hands of Germany virtually undamaged, when it was forced to land by Adolf Ritter von Tutschek (total 27 victories) of Jasta 12 flying the Fokker Dr.I. The British pilot survived the war in a POW camp.

Francesco Baracca figures very prominently on the ladder of Italian aces of the First World War. He began the road to being a pilot as early as 1912, and by May 1915, when Italy entered the war, he was able to offer a good amount of experience. Much of this experience was expressed while flying the Nieuport and the SPAD. In all, he reached 34 victories. He fell during the last year of the war, on June 19th, 1918. He likely fell victim to the Austro-Hungarian pilot Oblt. Arnold Berwing, member of Flik 28D, where he also flew as an observer on the Phonix C.I. Baracca left his mark not only in aviation, but also in the auto industry. After his death, his mother garanted his personal emblem to Enzo Ferrari, and so, in a way, accompanied the likes of Jacky Ickx, Niki Lauda, Gilles Villeneuve, Alain Prost and Michael Schumacher during great automotive accomplishments.

Maurice Boyau, a pre-war captain of the French rugby team, joined Escadrille No. 77 at the end of 1916. Before that, he served as a flight instructor. Escadrille No. 77 became well known as the ‘unit of sportsmen’, thanks to its abnormally high number of athletes within its ranks. Boyau first flew Nieuports, and was most successful downing observation balloons, of which he accounted for 21. By the time of his death, he was credited with 35 kills, another three unconfirmed. An encounter with George von Hantelmann on September 16th, 1918 at 11,20 h would prove fateful for Boyau. Hantelmann, a member of Jasta 15, made this his 14th of twenty five confirmed kills. The photograph shows that this aircraft carried rocket launchers on the inter-wing struts. This adaption was developed by Yves LePrieur and built by the firm Ruggier, and was meant for the destruction of observation balloons.
