History of the Aisne-Marne 1918 Battle Streamer
On July 18, 1918, Allied forces, including the U.S., launched a successful counterattack against German forces between the Aisne and Marne Rivers. The offensive, supported by American divisions and tanks, inflicted heavy casualties and pushed the Germans back. The Allies faced resistance along the Aisne and Vesle Rivers, countered by the American Air Service. Despite challenges, American pilots played a crucial role in reconnaissance and air superiority. The campaign marked the debut of Air Service balloonists. By August 6, German forces had retreated, thwarting their decisive victory aspirations. The achievement paved the way for the expansion of American Air Service activities in Europe.
