Built 1917 in Norwich, Eng. and sold to U.S. Army Air Service. Based at Rockwell Field, San Diego for several years. Went through several subsequent civilian owners. Purchased by the San Diego museum at auction from Wings & Wheels Museum in Orlando, FL. Restoration began in 1990, much of the work done by Jim & Zona Appleby, noted antique aircraft restorers. The aircraft is 95% original.

Although the FAA register shows this as built in 1917, the real (i.e. original) B9913 is in the Canada Aviation Museum, Rockcliffe, Ontario. N1916S is a replica, but I have been unable to find any details about its history.

The real B9913 is preserved in the Canadian Aviation Museum at Rockcliffe, Ontario. This replica is now at the Shannon Air Museum, Fredericksberg, Virginia.
