This image shows a vintage biplane from the 1940s, specifically an SPAD S.XIII, which was a French biplane fighter aircraft used during World War I. The plane is stationary on a snowy airfield, with a clear view of its distinctive markings, including the number 15 on the fuselage and a star within a circle on the tail section. The setting appears to be rural and likely in Canada given the connection to Aeroplane Photo Supply of Canada.The SPAD S.XIII was widely used by the Allies during WWI and became notable for its speed and durability. This particular aircraft's design suggests it may have been part of a post-war vintage collection or event, possibly captured during a winter aviation meet or displayed at an airfield for historical purposes in Canada.Visible text on the plane includes "18869" on the tail and "SPS XIII" indicating the model, with no visible names or persons identified in the photo. There are no additional captions or names provided.- - - Aeroplane Photo Supply was a Toronto-based company owned by C.G.B. Stuart, operating from the mid-1940s until 1959.
