In my castle....

Come to think of it, those two SE.5a's that the PAF had, were those Hispano or Wolseley machines?

Both were powered by the Hispano-Suiza engine with a 2-blade prop of 2,16 m in diameter.

By the way, IMHO, it was - and is - so scary to fly with these planes! No armour, no speed, no radio, no ejection system option, almost not much fuel, only one person that has to fly, navigate, observe, bombard, and if needed, repair the machine in the middle of air!!!

much respect for those who dare to fly with these planes!

Not to mention no wheel brakes, no parachutes (Most not all), no self sealing fuel tanks, and on Rotary powered A/C the exhaust exiting without a manifold right onto very flammable doped fabric and wooden structures! I have always marveled at the feats those men achieved!

This is the Latvian Aviation ( Pilot ) badge, also known as the Latvian Air Regiment one. There were many pre-war Polish pilots who were honored and allowed to wear the Pilot badges of other countires, eg... Latvia, Estonia, France, Bulgaria, SHS
