History of the St. Mihiel 1918 Battle Streamer
In the summer of 1918, General John J. Pershing led the formation of a distinct American Army as part of the Allied forces. The focus was on diminishing the St. Mihiel Salient in eastern France, with the First U.S. Army, aided by a French colonial corps, successfully securing a new front from Pont-A-Mousson to Fresnes. A key contributor to this triumph was the First Army Air Service, led by Col. William Mitchell, which showcased the American-manufactured DH-4 bomber. Despite challenges, including losses and subpar bombing results, the air service played a crucial role in achieving air superiority and contributing to the elimination of a potential threat during the St. Mihiel Campaign—an essential chapter in World War I military history.
