   Our one inch to the foot replica is a duplicate of the S.E.-5 scout flown by the famous Major James B. McCudden of the Royal Flying Corps. 'The mark­ings shown on the plans are authentic. The other S.E.-5 flown by McCudden, number "6," was fitted with a bright red spinner taken from a captured German

 Designed by Britain's Royal Aircraft Factory, the famous S.E.-5 proved to be one of the easiest Allied scouts to fly during World War One. Unlike the "Camel" or "Fokker Triplane," which were extremely manoeuvrable, and some­what difficult to handle, the Scouting Experimental-5 or S.E.-5 was a stable design which enabled a good marksman to aim carefully and begin firing at the enemy at maximum range. In effect, it was a perfect "gun platform" due to its steady flight characteristics. It made good fighters out of fair pilots.
