The SPAD S.G1 and SPAD S.G2 were French single seat tractor biplanes of ca 1915/16, following similar arrangements to the SPAD S.A2 family with the propeller and engine buried in the fuselage and a pod suspended in front of the engine. [1] [2] A single SPAD S.A-1 was converted with a small circular section pulpit nacelle mounting a mock-up of a fixed forward-firing machine-gun and smaller wings.
At least one SPAD S.A-2 was converted to carry three fixed forward-firing machine-guns by the Imperial Russian Air Service in a similar fashion to the S.G. [1]

The SEA IV was a French two-seat military aircraft of World War I and the immediate post-war era.
The SPAD S.VII was the first of a series of highly successful biplane fighter aircraft produced by Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) during the First World War. Like its successors, the S.VII was renowned as a sturdy and rugged aircraft with good climbing and diving characteristics. It was also a stable gun platform, although pilots used to the more maneuverable Nieuport fighters found it heavy on the controls. It was flown by a number of the famous aces, such as France's Georges Guynemer, Italy's Francesco Baracca and Australia's Alexander Pentland.
The Nieuport 27 was a World War I French sesquiplane fighter aircraft designed by Gustave Delage. The 27 was the last of the line of Nieuport "V-strut" single seat fighters that began with the Nieuport 10 of 1914. Operational examples supplemented the very similar Nieuport 24 and 24bis in operational squadrons in late 1917 and many would also be used as advanced trainers.
The Fieseler Fi 98 was a prototype ground-attack aircraft produced by German aircraft manufacturer Fieseler as a rival to the Henschel Hs 123.
The Rumpler C.VIII was a German single-engine biplane advanced trainer manufactured by Rumpler Flugzeugwerke, in Berlin Johannisthal in 1917.
The Bleriot-SPAD S.33 was a small French airliner developed soon after World War I. The aircraft was a biplane of conventional configuration whose design owed much to the Blériot company's contemporary fighter designs such as the S.20. Four passengers could be accommodated in an enclosed cabin within the monocoque fuselage, and a fifth passenger could ride in the open cockpit beside the pilot. A great success, the S.33 dominated its field throughout the 1920s, initially on CMA's Paris-London route, and later on continental routes serviced by Franco-Roumaine.
The Friedrichshafen FF.48 was a German two-seat floatplane fighter of the 1910s produced by Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen.
The Caudron R.11, was a French three-seat twin-engine long range escort fighter biplane developed and produced by Caudron during the First World War.
The SPAD S.A was a French two-seat tractor biplane first flown in 1915. It was used by France and Russia in the early stages of the First World War in the fighter and reconnaissance roles. It was a unique aircraft that carried its observer in a nacelle ahead of wing, engine and propeller.
The Dewoitine D.19 was a fighter aircraft built in France in 1925 in response to a French Air Force solicitation.
The SET 10 was a trainer aircraft produced in Romania in prototype form in the early 1930s. It was a conventional, single-bay biplane with staggered wings braced with N-struts. It was equipped with fixed tailskid undercarriage, and seated the pilot and instructor in tandem, open cockpits. Intended for Romania's aeroclubs and Air Force, no production ensued.
The Fokker C.VIII was a reconnaissance aircraft built in the Netherlands in the late 1920s. Intended primarily for the photographic reconnaissance role, it was a larger machine than other Fokker reconnaissance types of the period, with space for a third crew member, who acted as camera operator. It was also Fokker's first aircraft of this type to be built as a monoplane, a parasol wing configuration. The construction, however, was in the familiar Fokker style with wooden wings covered with plywood and fabric, and a steel-tube fuselage, also fabric-covered.
The Gourdou-Leseurre GL.30 was a racing aircraft built in France in 1920 which formed the basis for a highly successful family of fighter aircraft based on the same design.
The Hanriot H.43 was a military utility aircraft produced in France in the late 1920s and early 1930s which was primarily used by the Aéronautique Militaire as a trainer. While Hanriot had spent most of the 1920s manufacturing further and further developments of the HD.14 that had flown in 1920, the H.43 was an entirely new design. It was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span and a fuselage of fabric-covered metal tube. Accommodation for the pilot and passenger was in tandem, open cockpits and the main units of the fixed, tailskid undercarriage were linked by a cross-axle.
The SPAD S.XII or SPAD 12 was a French single-seat biplane fighter aircraft of the First World War developed from the successful SPAD VII by Louis Béchereau, chief designer of the Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD).
The Tupolev ANT-16 was an experimental heavy bomber aircraft designed and tested in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s.
The Yakovlev Ya-21,, was a single-seat high-speed sport aircraft / fighter-trainer designed and built in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s.
The Borel-Boccaccio Type 3000, also known as Borel C2, was a two-seat fighter designed and built in France to a 1918 C2 specification.
The SPAD S.XV was a single-seat fighter designed and built in France and offered to fulfil a 1918 C1 specification.
The Salmson 3 C.1 was a French World War I biplane fighter aircraft developed by Salmson which lost out in competition to the SPAD XIII and Morane-Saulnier AI.
