  • Cet article présente l'ordre de bataille du service aérien de l'American Expeditionary Force à la date du 11 novembre 1918, soit la date de sa puissance maximale pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. La (en) américaine arrive en France en septembre 1917, tandis que la dernière à atteindre le front le fait le 9 novembre 1918. À la fin de la guerre, ce sont en tout 57 508 militaires américains qui servent dans la branche aérienne de l'American Expeditionary Force, dont 4088 pilotes. Seuls 1724 ce ces pilotes servirent cependant dans des unités combattantes américaines, le reste n'étant pas déployé à temps. Il faut rajouter à ces chiffres les 574 Américains affectés dans des unités de la Royal Air Force et les 8 pilotes affectés à l'Aéronautique Militaire française. Du fait du déploiement progressif des troupes américaines en Europe, le service aérien du corps expéditionnaire subit de très fréquentes réorganisations. L'aviation américaine monta progressivement en puissance au cours de la guerre, qu'elle termina avec 45 squadrons d'avions et 17 compagnies de ballons déployés dans la zone de front. Toutes ces unités « de base » furent regroupées en deux grands ensembles : le (en), rattaché à la 1re armée à partir du 26 août 1918, et le (en), rattaché à la 2e armée à partir du 12 octobre. Le (en), lui, est créé trois jours après l'armistice pour être rattaché aux troupes d'occupation américaines en Allemagne. (fr)

Of its 6,861 officers, 4,088 were on flying status and 219 were qualified observation balloon aviators. 1,724 of those on flying status and approximately 100 of the balloonists served in combat units. The First Army Air Service was activated August 26, 1918, with Col. Benjamin Foulois named chief over Col. Billy Mitchell. The Second Army Air Service was activated on October 12 with Col. Frank P. Lahm as chief, and the Third Army Air Service was created immediately after the armistice to provide aviation support to the army of occupation, primarily from veteran units transferred from the First Army Air Service. The first two air combat groups formed in the AEF were the 1st Corps Observation Group, in April 1918, and the 1st Pursuit Group at Toul. Ultimately fourteen airplane and seven balloon groups were formed to support the operations of two field armies and five corps. The five pursuit and two bombardment groups were organized into two wings. The seven observation and seven balloon groups had one of each assigned to an army or corps air service. Two flexible "observation wings" were created to coordinate the reconnaissance activities of the five corps air services. The basic units of the air service were the squadron for powered aircraft and the company for balloons. 45 squadrons (38 of which conducted combat operations) of aircraft and 17 companies of balloons served at the front. The 20 pursuit and seven bombardment squadrons were authorized 25 aircraft (including spares) and 18 crews each by the Field Service Regulations, while the 18 observation squadrons were each authorized 24 planes and 18 crews. Balloon companies were equipped with one balloon and approximately six observers each. (en)
