Francesco Baracca vs. Francesco Barbara, two different names
For seven years, the description of the SPAD S XIII (Codex Entry) has always been incorrect.
Dice, how can you get the name of Italy's most successful WW1 fighter ace wrong?
SPAD S XIII is a Codex Entry featured in Battlefield 1.
https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/SPAD_S_XIII_(Codex_Entry)
A French plane built in large numbers flown by many legends of the war, including the aces Georges Guynemer, Rene Fonck, Eddie Rickenbacker, and Francesco Barbara [sic] just to name a few. It was a plane that could out-fly the German D. VII in many situations, and it could measure itself against the famous Sopwith Camel. Its major flaw was its low speed handing, making it somewhat lethal to land, should the pilot make the return flight back to his aerodome.

The book "Spad Fighters: The Spad A.2 to XVI in World War I: 22 (Legends of Warfare: Aviation, 22)" by Mark C. Wilkins (2019):
This book presents the evolution of one of the most famous French-made fighter aircraft of WWI―the fast, rugged Spad. From humble beginnings this airplane became the mount for such famous WWI aces as Frenchmen Georges Guynemer and René Fonck, American Eddie Rickenbacker, Italian Francesco Baracca, and many others.
Francesco Baracca (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Baracca)
Count Francesco Baracca (9 May 1888 – 19 June 1918) was Italy's top fighter ace of World War I. He was credited with 34 aerial victories. The emblem he wore side by side on his plane of a black horse prancing on its two rear hooves inspired Enzo Ferrari to use it on his racing car and later in his automotive company.
The error may not be apparent to many, but it certainly annoys them.
