  • The United States Army Air Service was a forerunner of the United States Air Force. It was established on May 24, 1918, after U.S. entry into World War I, replacing the Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps which had been the nation's air force from 1914 to 1918. Although the Air Service was recognized by the Department of War on May 24, 1918, no Director of Air Service was appointed until August 28, when President Woodrow Wilson made John D. Ryan a Second Assistant Secretary of War and civilian Director of Air Service. After World War I, the Air Service was again directed by a military officer and remained so until replaced by the United States Army Air Corps on July 1, 1926. The Air Service was the first form of the air force to have both its own unique organizational structure and identity. Prior to May 1918 its permanent personnel were part of the Signal Corps and its pilots on temporary assignment from other branches of the Army. Between May 1918 and July 1920, enlisted men were assigned to and new officers commissioned in the Air Service as either National Army (war-mobilized) or United States Army (Regulars). After July 1, 1920, all personnel retained by the Army were designated members of the Air Service, with officers who had been commissioned in the Signal Corps formally transferred.

  • L'United States Army Air Service ou simplement Air Service est la force aérienne des États-Unis entre 1918 et 1926. Elle fut créée le 24 mai 1918 après l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis, remplaçant l'Aviation Section de l'U.S. Signal Corps qui avait été l'embryon de la première force aérienne de ce pays entre 1914 et 1918. Dépendante du Département de la Guerre et branche de l'US Army, le président Woodrow Wilson nommera le 28 août 1918 John D. Ryan second assistant du sécrétaire à la Guerre et directeur de l'Air Service. A la fin du conflit, son commandement reviendra à un militaire. Ce service opéra 45 escadrons et 740 avions lors de l'armistice de 1918 en soutien de l'American Expeditionary Force . L'United States Army Air Service sera remplacé en 1926 par l'United States Army Air Corps puis l'USAAF en 1941. La force aérienne américaine ne deviendra une arme a part entière, indépendante de l'US Army qu'après la Seconde Guerre mondiale en 1947 et la création de l'US Air Force.

  • Though the casualties in the air force were small compared with the total strength, the casualty rate of the flying personnel at the front was somewhat above the Artillery and Infantry rates... The results of allied and American experience at the front indicate that two aviators lose their lives in accidents for each aviator killed in battle.
