Here 1st Lieut. Paul A. Smith, normally an SE-5 pilot on the Victory Loan Flying Circus, Middle-West Flight tour, is grabbing 1st Lieut. P. E. MacGregor (based at Ellington Field), who was the Victory Loan Flying Circus, Mid-West Flight Recruiting Officer. They were at Swope Park in Kansas City on April 30, 1919, and Smith was seated in SE-5a C8747. Other photos in the same sequence show the distinctive 4 and 3 pair of dice that MacGregor is covering up.

The RAF did not exist at this time, it was still the R.F.C. until April 1918

During the Swope Park air show in Kansas City on April 30, 1919, pilots were known to switch planes after a short “hop,” and Lieut. Paul A. Smith, normally a SE-5a VLFC Mid-West Flight pilot, is shown seated in SE-5a C.8747. Note the pair of dice painted just below the cockpit, showing a four and three—“seven up”—regarded as a token of good fortune in the air.
