    The SPAD S.XIII is a French biplane fighter aircraft of the First World War, developed by Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) from the earlier and highly successful SPAD S.VII.  	This replica SPAD was built in Germany and flown in the United Kingdom since 1978. It was placed in the Fleet Air Arm museum in 1986 and transferred to Duxford in 1996. Painted as S.4513 to represent an aircraft flown in 1918 by Captain Rickenbacker with the United States Army Air Service in France.
    The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane formerly used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.  Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS and N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II.
