Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 - Foreign Users part two

Note: Just another post to cope with the new nation tags. Nothing new.

• South Africa: The SE.5a was the backbone of the newly created South African Air Force in 1921. It may have taken part in the suppression of the Second Rand Rebellion in 1921.
• Soviet Union: Apparently the Bolshevik forces captured the Polish airplane and it was used in the Russian Civil war.
• Spain: The Spanish government bought at least one (some sources claim that they were two) SE.5a from the surplus of the Great War.
• USA: The SE.5a served with the USAAS (United States Army Air Service) and was locally produced by the Austin aviation company who manufactured 1650 exemplars of it. Curtiss also manufactured one of it out of 1000 planned. Eberhart company also manufactured it's own trainer version out of spare parts and they served as advanced trainers well into the late 20s.
