An American ace of World War I with seven victories, Charles Biddle was an attorney when he joined the French Air Service. The SPAD XIII S4489 he flew was assigned to the 13th Aero Sq. on July 7, 1918 and was returned to French control on December 15th. Biddle’s personal livery included a blue and white radiator cowl, probably in memory of his earlier French unit, SPA73
First flown on April 4, 1917, the SPAD .XIII was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I developed by Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) from the earlier highly successful SPAD S.VII. It was one of the most capable fighters of the war, and one of the most-produced, with 8,472 built and orders for around 10,000 more, which were cancelled at the Armistice
The Corgi Aviation Archive features a wide selection of high quality, ready-made, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using specifications of the original aircraft. Corgi models are built with diecast metal and some plastic components.
