This photograph was taken by Aerial Perspectives, a local group spanning 3 generations of aviation enthusiasts.  According to the National Museum of the US Air Force, the SPAD VII made its initial flight in July 1916. It showed such promise that it was put into production at once, and by the latter part of that year it appeared on the Front in both French and British squadrons. The airplane was an immediate success, primarily because its structural ruggedness permitted it to dive at high speeds without disintegrating. About 189 of the slightly more than 5,000 SPAD VIIs built went to the AEF.
