SPAD XIII Rickenbacker

File Description:
This is a repaint (textures only) for the SPAD VII 1916 by Stuart Green. You can get it here: http://www.domicilium.com/peveril/hangar/planes/SPAD_VII.htm Thank you Stuart for this beautifully crafted plane! This repaint represents the SPAD XIII S4523 of Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, 94th Aero Squadron, September 1918. Eddie Rickenbacker scored victories seven through twenty-six in his famous Keilner-built SPAD XIII, this repaint represents as it looked on 24 September 1918. On 25 September, Rickenbacker sent one of five Fokker D VIIs down out of control, and then shot down one of the two Halberstadt two-seaters they were escorting. Rickenbacker was belatedly awarded the Medal of Honor for this action on 6 November 1930.
