This Spad was built in October 1918 but too late to see any combat, rather it was shipped to the US after the Armistice along with 434 other SPAD XIIIs. It is now on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings of America's highest scoring ace of WWI with 26 victories, Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker of the 94th Pursuit Squadron.
