The Roumanian Air Force was one of the countries who has used the SPAD S.61/2 biplane fighter. During the first part of the thirties there has been a competition for a new fighter for the Air Force. The aeroplanes who were tested were the: Avia BH-28, Siskin III, Fokker D-XVI and the SPAD-SET. The SPAD-SET was a modified SPAD S.61/2. All these aeroplanes were powered by the Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar radial engine. Now I found in a Roumanian source that the SPAD-SET was powered by a Lorraine-Dietriech W engine, I think that is a mistake, becouse the Jaguar engine was requested. Who can help me with the following information/materials? 1. Drawings/pictures of construction details of the SPAD S.61/2; 2. All kind of information/drawings/pictures etc. of the SPAD-SET 3. Further everething else concerning the construction and the SPAD-SET. Thanks Jjr |

As far as I know, that competition was held in the second half of the 1920s. The contest from the early thirties had, as a result, the selection of PZL P 11 b as the main fighter for the Romanian military aeronautics. |

Thanks for this information. But is there anybody who has information/materials concerning the SPAD-SET, the one which was used in the competition during the second half of the 1920's. The one which was powered by the Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar radial!! Jan |

Does anyone know who are the romanian pilots near the Fokker DXVI? https://www.facebook.com/arrww2/photos/a.1701877880089375.1073741860.1665109693766194/1701877893422707/?type=3&theater The third from the left (with cigarette) looks like very much with my grandfather. Thank you very much! Alexandru |
