In 1922 the Eberhart Steel Products Co. received a contract to rebuild 50 of the Army Air Service's SE-5A aircraft using 180-hp Wright-Hispano "E" engines, subsequently redesignated the SE-5E and were used by the AAS for advanced training. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is painted to represent an SE-5E of the 18th Headquarters Squadron, Bolling Field, Washington, DC in 1925.
