"The SPAD S.VII was the first of a series of highly successful biplane fighter aircraft produced by Soci\u00E9t\u00E9 Pour L'Aviation et ses D\u00E9riv\u00E9s (SPAD) during the First World War. Like its successors, the S.VII was renowned as a sturdy and rugged aircraft with good climbing and diving characteristics. It was also a stable gun platform, although pilots used to the more manoeuvrable Nieuport fighters found it heavy on the controls."@en . "6000"^^ . . .
