This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

100th Aero Squadron of World War I
From Wikipedia.
Part of the U.S. Army in World War I. Ordered to the Western Front and boarded the SS Tuscania 23 January 1918. Torpedoed 5 February and ship sunk but most of the 100th rescued.
Reformed in England as assigned as Day Bombardment Squadron for long-range bombing attacks on roads, railroads and massed troop formations.
However, just before its first scheduled combat mission the war ended with the 1918 Armistice. Returned to the States in June 1919 and demobilized. The group was never reactivated.
