History of the Somme Offensive 1918 Battle Streamer
On September 26, 1918, the U.S. First Army, led by General Pershing, launched a significant offensive on the Western Front. The objective was to secure the Metz-Mzi~res railroad, contributing to the retreat of German forces. The Meuse-Argonne Campaign showcased the Air Service's enhanced tactics, led by Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker's 94th Aero Squadron, becoming the leading American ace squadron.
Despite challenging conditions, collaboration between observation squadrons and infantry demonstrated the Air Service's effectiveness. Bombardment groups undertook daring missions, contributing to battlefield interdiction. On November 6, U.S. Armed Forces achieved a crucial victory, cutting the railroad and leading to the collapse of German and Austrian forces. The armistice on November 11, 1918, marked the end of World War I hostilities.
From April to November 1918, the Air Service expanded significantly, solidifying its role in ensuring Allied air superiority. This Battle Streamer symbolizes the courage, sacrifice, and technological advancement defining the U.S. Air Force in World War I, honoring the men and women who shaped American aeronautical prowess.
