Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 - British Users, Part one, Second Entry

As the British employed this excellent fighter widely, we have decided to split the domestic users in various entries in order to not get an overloaded one.

The squadrons covered in this entry are:
  • No.1 Squadron Royal Flying Corps
  • No.24 Squadron Royal Flying Corps
  • No.29 Squadron Royal Flying Corps (Although not completely)
The SE.5a proved to be an excellent dogfighter and it was quickly renown as one of the best fighters in the battlefield. It comes no surprise that it was piloted by many aces.

*Update: We realized that some airplanes had different headrest so we have corrected some of them.
