United States Air Service
Unit Insignias
USAS squadrons followed the French practice of adopting colourful unit
insignias. However, rather than being allowed to just apply them to their
aircraft, most were required to wait until they had served a certain length
of time at the front, or else had claimed their first victory before they
could add them to their aircraft.
