The Blériot-SPAD S.20 (originally known as the SPAD S. XX) was a French fighter aircraft developed near the end of World War I. Too late to serve in the war almost 100 of these aircraft equipped the French Air Force in the years immediately following. These agile aircraft were also used successfully for air racing and record-setting. The S. XX was a refinement of the S. XVIII and was a two-seat fighter biplane which carried a pilot and tail gunner.
