DUAL COMBO!

FIRST, A FEW WORDSThe French SPAD S.XIII evolved as a development of the successful S.VII.With the use of the more powerful Hispano-Suiza HS 8Be, developing 220hp (162kW), and later the HS 8BEe at 235hp (173kW), the maindrawback of inadequate single-gun armament could be addressed. The S.XIII received two Vickers machine guns with 400 rpg. Chief designer ofthe SPAD, Louis Bechereau, enlarged the airframe slightly, and also, generally strengthened it. The first prototype took to the air onApril 4th, 1917with Rene Dorme at the controls. Due to the heavier nature of the aircraft, some maneuverability was lost, but climb rate was improved upon, andthe maximum speed rose to 215 km/h. The initial series of the SPAD had rounded wing tips, but these quickly reverted to those used on the S.VII.

Performance of the new fighter was such that a large-quantity contract was immediately awarded. Nine manufacturers ultimately took part inproduction: SPAD, A.C.M., Bernard, Bleriot, Borel, Kellner, Levasseur, Nieuport, and SAFCA. Besides the French air force, the SPAD S.XIII alsosaw service with the air forces of Great Britain, the USA, Italy, Belgium, and after the end of the First World War, Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Francouzská stíhačka SPAD S.XIII byl přímým nástupcem úspěšného S.VII. Díky použití silnějšího motoru Hispano-Suiza HS 8Be o výkonu162 kW (220 k) a později HS 8BEe (173 kW/235 k) mohl být odstraněn největší nedostatek předchozího typu - slabé vyzbrojení jednímkulometem. Letouny S.XIII dostaly dva kulomety Vickers se zásobou po 400 ks nábojů na zbraň. Šéfkonstruktér Spadu Louis Béchereau novýdrak oproti S.VII mírně zvětšil a celkově zesílil. První prototyp S.XIII zalétl podporučík René Dorme 4. dubna 1917.Nový stíhací stroj sice nebyl díky větší hmotnosti tak obratný jako S.VII, ale zlepšila se stoupavost a max. rychlost vzrostla na 215 km/h.První série S.XIII měly kulaté konce křídel, ty byly ale brzy změněny na hranaté po vzoru S.VII.

Výkony nového stíhacího stroje byly natolik přesvědčivé, že byl ihned uzavřen kontrakt na velké dodávky. Na těch se nakonec podílelo celkemdevět výrobců (SPAD, A.C.M., Bernard, Blériot, Borel, Kellner, Levasseur, Nieuport a SAFCA). Kromě francouzského letectva sloužily SpadyS.XIII i v letectvech Velké Británie, USA, Itálie, Belgie a po skončení 1. světové války i v Polsku a Československu.
