History of the Champagne-Marne 1918 Battle Streamer
In the summer of 1918, the 1st Pursuit Group and the I Corps Observation Group, led by Col. William (Billy) Mitchell, formed the First Air Service Brigade near Château-Thierry. Despite flying older Nieuports, the 1st Pursuit Group faced losses but scored nine aerial victories. During a German assault on the Western Front, Mitchell's brigade played a crucial role in countering the attack. Employing innovative tactics, they engaged enemy ground forces, escorted aircraft, and conducted air defense patrols, successfully halting the German advance. The efforts of the American air units in the Champagne-Marne campaign symbolize courage, innovation, and resilience, contributing to the overall Allied victory in World War I.
