Maggiore Francesco Baracca - Spad S.VII by Ivan Berryman. This WW1 Aces series continues with an Italian Ace, the first in the series, Maggiore Francesco Baracca. Credited with an impressive 34 victories, Francesco Baracca was Italys highest scoring ace in WW1 and is shown here in his distinctive Spad S.VII which carried his personal emblem, the Prancing Horse, that paid homage to his cavalry days. Upon his death in this aircraft on 19th June 1918, Baraccas mother donated the emblem to Enzo Ferrari whose cars still carry this badge the world over. |
