The 139th Aero Squadron was an Air Service, United States Army unit that fought on the Western Front during World War I. The squadron was assigned as a day pursuit (fighter) squadron as part of the 2d Pursuit Group, First United States Army. Its mission was to engage and clear enemy aircraft from the skies and provide escort to reconnaissance and bombardment squadrons over enemy territory. It also attacked enemy observation balloons, and performed close air support and tactical bombing attacks on enemy forces along the front lines. The squadron was very successful in combat, having half a dozen air aces including David Putnam, Karl Schoen, Robert Opie Lindsay, and future Brigadier General Harold H. George.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/usa/putnam.php Retrieved on 23 June 2010.〕 After the 1918 Armistice with Germany, the squadron returned to the United States in June 1919 and was demobilized.〔Series "E", Volume 17, History of the 104th-147th Aero Squadrons.
