What do you mean "The Spad VII has 5, which is correct?"

I just checked Blue Max rules, 1st Edition, Blue Max for Miniatures (which might be called "Advanced Blue Max" or "3rd Edition," ) and Canvas Eagles (which might be called 4th Edition) and they all show 5 boxes for the Spad 7 and 6 boxes for the Spad 13.

If you are disputing the historical basis for 5 or 6 boxes, we can talk all night. I've always thought a plane they called "the flying brick" was probably under-strength in the game, rather than over-strength. If you see a Spad 7 and 13 separately, they look a lot alike, but if you see them side by side you'll see a lot of differences-- and including the tail. (By the way, later BM editions added another tail box to the Sopwiths and Nieuports with only 4 because 4 made them too weak-- as we see here.)
