---

This is a skin of Frank Luke Jr.'s Spad XIII. From Arizona, he became know as "the Arizona balloon buster" for his agressive attacks on observation balloons. In only 17 days he shot down 10 balloons and four enemy aircraft. The day he was killed he downed three balloons, his plane was disabled by ground fire and was forced to land behind enemy lines. He was soon surrounded but drew his sidearm and exchanged fire before he was killed. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the Medal of Honor. Luke Airforce base is named in his honor.
