Well, OK, it is sort of period, just rather post the great War:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4N0MrGst8QThe film is the 1927 original of 'Wings'
The pilot of the SPAD VII is Dick Grace, this crash is described in two of his books, 'Crash Pilot' and 'Squadron of Death'.
The books describe how he prepared the 'plane, including removing the belly tank and fitting a gravity tank in the upper wing. He also mentions that the 'plane had a plywood fuselage, suggesting this is one of the US conversions
There are other crashes in the film, including crashing a Fokker D.VII in which he broke his neck. Being a stunt man, he naturally walked away...
