Given the conservatism of French and British units, I'm amazed that this SPAD ever passed muster. I wonder what it took to bribe his squadron leader?

July 29th, 1918, lieutenant Henri Hay de Slade receives the command of Spa 159 résults of which are catastrophic (11 persons killed and missing persons, no victory)

To transmit its experience, he makes cover the fusselage of his plane of red strips so that all the pilots can follow his evolutions during flight.
The thing will work: 13 victories for 2 losses.

Very interesting, socrate. Thanks much.
