Stand near the SPAD XIII, the biplane with the red nose and the famous “Hat in the Ring” insignia. This aircraft is painted to represent the one flown by America’s “Ace of Aces” Eddie Rickenbacker, who was from Columbus, Ohio. Rickenbacker is credited with shooting down more German airplanes during World War I than any other American pilot. You’ll learn more about Rickenbacker when we reach the exhibit where his Medal of Honor is displayed.
