Apart from the A.2/A.4 Formaplane kit, SPADs, apart from familiar
VIIs and XIIIs are pretty underrepresented in publications and certainly in
models from the cottage manufacturers. All part of the problem that
information on WW I French aircraft is dammed hard to find. It strikes me
as ironic that the acknowledged "expert" on French aircraft, J. Bruce, is
an Englishman.
