famed American Ace of WWI with 7 victories, Charles Biddle attended Princeton and Harvard and was an attorney when he joined the French Air Service. After the war ended, he wrote "The Way of the Eagle." Kellner-built SPAD XIII SS4489 was assigned to the 13th Aero Squadron on 7th July 1918 and was returned to French control on the 15th December. Biddle’s personal livery included a blue and white radiator cowl – probably in memory of his earlier French unit, SPA73 – and a commander’s tricolour band. In addition, there were victory marks in the form of five notches in the Grim Reaper’s bloody scythe and four tiny crosses behind the running skeleton. Another cross above the tricolour band represented a patched bullet hole.
