RAF SE5a - Electric Scale Series - Parts Set and plans

Together with the Camel, the SE5 was instrumental in regaining allied air superiority in mid-1917 and maintaining it for the rest of the war.

Many of the top Allied aces flew this fighter, including Billy Bishop, Edward Mannock and James McCudden. Legendary British ace Albert Ball was initially disparaging of the SE5, but in the end claimed 11 of his 44 victories flying it. McCudden wrote of the SE5 “It was very fine to be in a machine that was faster than the Huns, and to know that one could run away just as things got too hot.”
