In 1922 the Eberhart Steel Products Co received a contract to rebuild 50 of the Army Air Service's S.E.5A aircraft using 180hp Wright-Hispano E engines. The Army Air Service used these aircraft, redesignated the SE-5E, for advanced training. Donated from the estate of WWI ace Lt Col Lambert who flew the S.E.5A as an American member of the Royal Flying Corps, it is now presented as an SE-5E of the 18th HQ Sqdn, Bolling Field, Washington DC in 1925
