"Built in February 1918 by the company Kellner de Levallois, this plane is one of the last survivors of some 8000 built copies.
Recovered as a wreck by Jean Salis in the 1970s, its restoration began in 1988 and was ceded to the Memorial Flight Association in 1990.
It has been restored in four years. The fuselage and the engine are original but an important work of identical reconstruction was necessary for the wing. Everything has been redone, controlled and reassembled with the desire to scrupulously respect the period standards, including linen interlining and the official camouflage scheme of the military aeronautics of 1918. Only the metal parts, the lower cockades and the flag are painted, the rest being covered with pigmented coating in accordance with the original. It is equipped with a reproduction of Eclair propeller made through an original propeller belonging to the Museum of Air and Space.
He returned to the air for the first time in 73 years on May 3, 1991, wearing the colors of Charles Henri Dolan, last survivor of the squadron La Fayette.
10 years after its revival, the Spad XIII returned to the workshops, Memorial Flight for a great visit (engine overhaul, structure, new radiator, r?venilage) and a discount to a higher standard of restoration.
He is now in the colors of Brigadier Tr?meau, SPA 83 "The Dragons", January 1918. It is the only Spad XIII original in flight status in the world and the oldest known to date." -
