SPAD VII Andre' Martenot de Cordoux

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 texture represents the SPAD VII of Adjutant Andre' Martenot de Cordoux, SPA94, Spring 1918. Martenot, who scored his first victory flying a Caudron G IV with C28, was the most experienced member of N94 when that unit was formed on 1 June 1917, and consequently received its first SPAD VII (S135) in July. His aircraft bore the '5', and he stated that his favourite SPAD VII-the pennant of which he kept and later donated to the Musee de l'Air- had a polished aluminum radiator cowling. He preferred the SPAD VII to the more powerful but less reliabel and manoeuverable XIII, and flew both for a time, eventually being credited with eight victories.
