  2. SPAD S.XIII The Spad S.XIII was designed by the French to replace the highly successful Spad S.VII Countries that used Spad S.XIII:  Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russian Empire, Siam (Thailand), Kingdom of Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom Royal Flying Corps, United States, Uruguay The Spad S.XIII was used by the Allied Powers during World War 1. (1917-1919)

  3. Société pour l'Aviation et ses Dérives (SPAD), developed the SPAD X.III as a replacement for the highly successful SPAD VII. A powerful 220 horsepower Hispano-Suiza engine powered the SPAD XIII, which quickly made it the preferred fighter airplane of both the French and U.S. Air Forces. The speed that the water cooled V-8 produced was unmatched in World War 1.

  4. <V.S> SPAD X.III German ALBATROS D.V SPAD X.III ALBATROS D.V TOP SPEED: 135 mph 103 mph GROSS WEIGHT: 1,888 lbs 1,874 lbs ENGINE/HORSEPOWER: Hispano-Suiza 220 HP Mercedes D III a/180 HP RANGE: 225 Miles 225 Miles

  5. WHAT IF? If Société pour l'Aviation et ses Dérives had not invented the SPAD X.III the outcome of World War 1 would have been completely different. The Germans would have defeated the French and U.S. Air Force causing a major weakness in total defense of the allied powers. The Central Powers would have won WW1.
