One of the two Royal Aircraft Factory SE 5 fighters originally ordered by Henan Province and taken over by the Beijing government in 1920. This one was powered by a 200hp Hispano Suiza 8b. A request for machine guns for these two fighters was made, but the British government refused to issue an export permit. (Artwork by Jean-Pierre Baraton)
