Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The S.E.5a was the Royal Aircraft Factory's answer to the Albatros scouts, and it arrived in squadron service through 1917 to become one of the finest fighters of the war. A geared Hispano-Suiza or Wolseley Viper of around 200 hp gave it real speed and a strong dive, and the sturdy airframe with its Vickers gun and overwing Lewis made it steady enough for pilots of average skill to fight well. Mannock, Bishop and McCudden all scored heavily on the type, and it stayed on RAF strength until the Armistice.
