| This 3-view drawing is credited to J. D. Carrick or F. Yeoman and appeared in Fighter Aircraft of the 1914-1918 War compiled by W. M. Lamberton and published by Harleyford Publications Limited. The French-designed Spad 13 was the improved version of the Spad 7 fighter. It was adopted by the U. S. Air Service as the preferred 'pursuit' aircraft for all of its fighter squadrons, replacing the controversial Nieuport 28 issued in early 1918. |
