SPAD Two-Seat Fighters
of World War I

Jack Herris

Société Anonyme pour Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) was one of the most important aircraft manufacturers during World War I, but until now the focus of published materials about it has been on its two most famous single-seat designs, the SPAD 7 and SPAD 13. This new book takes a look at SPAD’s less well known two-seat designs, including the SPAD SA series, the widely used SPAD 11 and SPAD 16, and the excellent SPAD 20, which arrived just before the war ended.

The latest addition to the Flying Machine Press library, SPAD Two-Seat Fighters of World War I has the most extensive coverage—history, evolution, combat use, photos, color profiles, and scale drawings—of these aircraft ever published. It includes:

Scale drawings of five aircraft types in both 1/48 and 1/72 standard modeler’s scales

12 color pages showing 38 aircraft

400-plus extraordinary photos

Eagerly awaited by World War I aviation buffs and modelers, this volume is an important contribution to the history of SPAD aircraft.
