This aircraft entered service in 1917 and was widely used until the end of World War I by both the French air force and its allies: the American, British, and Italian air forces. The SPAD 13 became famous not only for its excellent performance, but also for its solid construction and powerful armament, making it one of the most formidable opponents for German aircraft of the period.
