Escadrille 62
''Escadrille 62'' is a unit with historical roots in the French Air Force. It was founded on 11 August 1915 at Lyon–Bron Airport.
==History==
Escadrille 62 was originally equipped with Farman two-seater reconnaissance aircraft; thus, its first designation was ''Escadrille MF62''. Its first assignment was to ''VI Armee'' of the French Army. On 5 May 1916, it was incorporated into a larger ad hoc unit, ''Groupe de Combat de la Somme''—the other units included in the group were ''Escadrille N3'', ''Escadrille N26'', ''Escadrille N73'', and ''Escadrille N103''. On 25 May 1916, it rearmed with Nieuports, becoming ''Escadrille N62''. Because the ''escadrille'' was a temporary augmentation to the ''groupe'', it was detached and reassigned to the ''VI Armee'' as that unit's ''Escadrille d' Armee'' for the remainder of the war.〔Franks, Bailey 1992, p. 94.〕
''Escadrille 62'' would win five citations during its short participation in the First World War. The first, in January 1917, was for the destruction of 15 enemy aircraft and six observation balloons. On 16 November 1917, its second citation was for destroying 15 more aircraft; the ''escadrille'' was now entitled to wear a fourragère signifying its right to the ''Croix de guerre''. At about the same time as it received the second citation, it also re-equipped again with SPADs to become ''Escadrille Spa62''. They used their new aircraft for deep photographic reconnaissance missions 50 km behind enemy lines. On 25 January 1918, they took 180 photos; on 2 February they took 130 more. They were cited for this on 7 February 1918. On 18 July 1918, they were again cited for destruction of enemy aircraft—20 airplanes and an observation balloon. Their final citation came after war's end, on 18 December 1918, crediting them with 19 more victories; it entitled the ''escadrille's'' members to wear the fourragere of the ''Medaille Militare''. ''Escadrille 62'' was credited with a wartime record of 68 destroyed enemy airplanes and seven downed observation balloons.〔
''Escadrille SPA.62'' continues to serve in the current French Air Force.
