This texture represents the SPAD XIII S4523 of Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, 94th Aero Squadron, September 1918. Eddie Rickenbacker scored victories seven through twenty-six in his famous Keilner-built SPAD XIII, this repaint represents as it looked on 24 September 1918. On 25 September, Rickenbacker sent one of five Fokker D VIIs down out of control, and then shot down one of the two Halberstadt two-seaters they were escorting. Rickenbacker was belatedly awarded the Medal of Honor for this action on 6 November 1930.
